About me

Dáire is an Irish illustrator and artist currently based in England. She can be found floating around in forested areas, looking for skulls and drawing birds, or creeping around in graveyards. Her work spans across several areas of interest, from book design to telling her own stories through comics and illustration. She aims to take you by the hand and lead you into a world where even the impossible may live.

  At Home in the WoodsI'm wishing I was somewhere with green spaces and water nearby, I want to swim and wander in the woods. I miss the trees of the forests at home, I miss the vibrancy of nature and the sea most of all. I feel pressed in at all sides, suffocating in a flat that is too small to contain me, and us.
