Duffy Mooney-Sheppard

Is an Illustrator, Artist & Writer based in Dublin

I absolutely love researching and coming up with new stories and images. I am particularly inspired by philosophy, folklore and the natural world. My belief in the importance of kindness, play, curiosity and creativity are ideas at the heart of all of my work.

My background is in fine art and art education with children and young people. I spent many happy years working with children and adults at The Ark, Dublin, where imagination, play and stories are at the heart of everything they do.
