About Breda

My passion for all things art started when I was in school.  I would sit listening to music whilst sketching the album covers or pictures of my favourite bands.

 In the early 1990s, whilst in the States, a friend brought home a few interior design magazines and I was hooked. Over the years I have taken courses in painting and drawing and developed my skills.

 The dream to be an artist and a designer has been with me a long time. It drove me to leave an insurance job in  2010 to go back to college to study interior design. 

​I graduated from Griffith College in 2014 but at the time Ireland was emerging from a long recession and the only jobs on offer, were internships. So I ended up back in a “day job”,  this time as an accounts assistant. 

However, the dream to be an artist and designer never went away, so here I am, introducing Breda O’Flaherty Studio. It’s been a long time coming but I know I am on the right path.
