Eileen McNulty

A textile artist living in County Meath, Eileen’s one-off contemporary pieces portray the beauty of the Irish Landscape.

Eileen comes from an artistic and creative family and has been immersed in textiles from a very young age. ‘Going back three generations, my grandmother and great-grandmother were cotton weavers and my mother was a keen machinist and crafts person, so it is no surprise that I’ve taken a career path in textiles.’

Both her mother and father were big into crafts and all her siblings are into art and crafts in some shape or form. ‘One of the greatest gifts my mother gave me was my fond memories as a child, waiting my turn on her Singer pedal machine while she made our summer dresses or some amazing quilts. So as you can imagine, this introduction to textiles and the tradition of craft and sewing, given to me by my best teacher, my mother, has influenced me greatly in getting to this point of my career today.
