Bernie Murphy

Bernie Murphy is a textile artist, fashion designer and educator based in Donegal.  Her greatest inspiration comes from the wild Donegal coast; the blues and grays of the Atlantic ocean, where the fields and hills suggest patchworks, lines and patterns, where the barren lands and peat bogs blend the russets of trees and heather with the neutrals of sheep fleeces and stones, all combine to suggest the structures, colors and textures for her garments.
