Gallery Valerie

Valerie makes design led contemporary Irish Craft. Her aim is to create exceptional work: exciting, whimsical, sometimes silly, unique collections to stir your soul.

Influenced by Zen culture and how bringing beauty to the everyday is a spiritual practise, is central to her work. Her aim is to touch someone with beauty, even if it is for a fleeting moment with something as humble as a greeting card.

The designs are in a range of mediums and disciplines, from drawings to prints, couture cards and stationery to statement jewellery and mixed media, decorations and homeware. Everything in Gallery Valerie is handmade and original Irish design. She sells her own work, alongside carefully chosen craft by other designers.

For the past four years, she has been renovating this beautiful old mixed use premises. This is Gallery Valerie. She lives over the shop.

She learned how to remove old plaster and point the beautiful old stone walls with lime mortar, strip the shop front and wire brush old beams.

Her focus is on bringing beauty. Her work comes from her heart to yours.

Valerie Lee’s background is a degree in Fine Art Painting from Limerick School of Art and Design. She has worked as an artist for over thirty years, deepening her understanding of design.

She was Exhibitions Co-ordinator at The Crawford Municipal Art Gallery and an Artist in Residence at The Triskel Art Centre, sold her designs to retail outlets, designed greeting cards for industry and has run creative workshops in a diverse range of community settings, as well as privately.
