Linda Ni hAinifein

Linda is a contemporary ceramics artist living and working on the Dingle Peninsula. She returned here as soon as her formal Arts education was completed in Limerick School of Art and Design. The environment of West Kerry, in particular the Dingle Peninsula, inspires the ceramic art that she creates. She uses stoneware clay, combined with local clay, sand and stones to create these works, based on local history, archaeology and the ever-changing landscape.

Linda has been exhibiting since 1996 and continues to develop her work through ongoing exhibitions and public commissions.
