Grainne Morton

If Grainne Morton was to have a spirit animal, no doubt it would be the magpie. Instinctively and obsessively drawn to collecting and hoarding anything miniature or precious that catches her eye, Grainne has amassed an incredible collection of objects - all destined to find their place among the tales she weaves within her jeweled compositions. Born and raised in Northern Ireland by creative and antique-loving parents, Grainne was immersed in and surrounded by the traditional Crafts, Folklore, Music, and Fairy Tales of the country. Each piece she carefully choreographed, arranging and re-arranging little objects and precious things moved and re-placed until they establish a relationship and tell a story to the viewer.
