Grainne morton biography samples

Northern Irish folklore, music, fairytales, legends, nature, architecture and atmospheres. Grainne Morton’s childhood was an authentic full immersion into the culture of her country, particularly thanks to her parents who always made aesthetics and traditional values a focal point in their life.

With this kind of background, the next step came naturally: in the late 1980s, Grainne moved to Scotland to complete her studies at the Edinburgh College of Art. The picture was complete: from then on, her love for collecting, for studying an object and curious details, soon became her profession.

Jewelry with a soul, with a worth that goes beyond the intrinsic value of the raw material, are created from found and Curiosity Cabinet objects. Vintage and contemporary, partly spontaneous and partly calculated, precious and non-precious, everything blends into often asymmetric shapes, in pieces that seem to nd a balance only when worn.
