Continuing with our gallery recording series, today we get to talk with studio artists and creativity coach Deirdre Colgan Jones about her narrative quilt titled Deirdre in Tír na nÓg. Part of the group show No Ordinary Light, hosted by Chicago’s Dank Haus German Cultural Center in the spring of 2025, Deirdre talks about storytelling through myth, the lush history and future of her home country Ireland, and the power of personal relics.
You can learn more about Deirdre’s work and creativity coaching at her website deirdrecolganjones.com and on IG @deirdrecolganjones. Additional Resources from our convo:
