Vision with action can change the world!

Jeremiah O'Dea. Born in Leeds, England 1974. Moved to West Cork, Ireland in the late 80s, grew up with a thirst for life and energy, generosity of spirit and exuberant expression of life. In later years, after a colourful and early start, settled in Galway, a city known for its arts and music culture.
Storytellers, poets, musicians, painters, and sculptors hold Galway in their grasp, keeping it from being just another city. This fact is
largely responsible for many blow-in artists staying and settling in Galway, myself included. I used to play music, paint or juggle on the streets busking and learned many skills from other artists and performers. These skills carried me around Europe and the continents in
good stead for several years as I explored this garden we call our planet. Not a life of luxury by any means but very potent in awareness and spirituality. From this I gained respect and knowledge. The many cultures I experienced i did so at ground level mixing with the salt of
the earth and the real people that hold the real storys. The word humble is a great description of how I look at the world, of how I perceive people, how I perceive life, this unconditional gift. For some years now the concept of my work has grown from an idea for elaborate
interior design into a passion for expression.
