Boyne Valley Art is the studio of Bernadette Fox, who creates handcrafted three-dimensional textile artwork inspired by the Irish landscape. Working with merino wool and hand-dyed silk, embellished with embroidery and beading, she makes framed textile pieces, silk scarves and cards drawing on the heritage and symbolism of Ireland's Ancient East, including motifs inspired by Newgrange.
