Treasures to last a lifetime

Linen Bag.jpg

Maureen Mc Ghee uses silver and patinated metals to create distinctive pieces of Art and Jewellery that are treasures to last a lifetime.

Based in the picturesque city of Derry in Ireland, Maureen Mc Ghee has been crafting unique design pieces for the past four decades. In that time, Maureen’s creations have found their way into peoples hearts as future family heirlooms or priceless gifts for once in a lifetime occasions.

A first class graduate in 3D Design kicked off a lifetime journey. Years later, stories have come to the surface that Maureen’s creations are being passed down to new generations, and have reached all corners of the globe.

See the world through Irish eyes.

Maureen’s art is steeped in Irish heritage. Unashamedly inspired by her homelands and the sweeping natural beauty of Derry, Maureen’s art channels ancestral traditions that last generations.

About

I am a Designer with a heart and a passion for creativity. I love nature, especially the sea.

With a naturally inquisitive eye the patterns, colours and shapes of nature flow with simplicity into my creations.

From my student days I have always used the philosophy of making even the most functional part of a piece of jewellery a beautiful part to be admired.

I love combining different materials in my designs, especially wood and metal… the soft wood with the hard unyielding metal. Its been a trademark of my jewellery and continues now in my artwork also.

But I also believe that jewellery is a tiny piece of artwork.

More recently I reintroduced the technique of “patination” with the  metals in my designs. I colour using heat, natural elements and even foods… yes foods. You’d be amazed at the range of colours that you can capture on copper. They amaze me every time I draw the colours out of the metal, each creation never to be repeated.

I especially enjoy creating gifts for those special occasions in your life, for those special people in your life. A piece of jewellery or artwork that captures how you feel… the words that you want to say - a timeless and special keepsake.

Simply put, I make what you love…with love.
