About Me

Hello, I'm Grace! I am a 20 year old budding artist and photographer, lover of the great outdoors, animals, baking and cooking.
I am hoping to start up a freelance photography business and and sell handmade crafts in the future.

I grew up with four sisters on a smallholding in Ireland. Here I was home educated and got involved in animal rearing and outdoor duties which I really enjoyed.

As briefly mentioned above, my interests include: painting, photography, singing around a campfire, spending time with animals, family and friends, being outdoors, exploring old churches and villages and listening to podcasts.

I have a great passion for fine art portraiture where I can use my imagination and love for art combined with the ideas of my model and lots of research to create unique, individual photographs.

I was a member of a local Army Cadet Force where I practised first aid, target shooting, drill, field craft and many other activities. It definitely was a great way to learn discipline, leadership, teamwork and respect.

I spent about five years living with a group of Amish mennonites in the South East of Ireland. Here I was involved in many local community projects/events including running a dog show, Christmas fairs and helping to bake and butcher for their market stall and local shop. Groups of us young people would regularly visit local care homes and perform songs for the residents and sit and chat with them. This was something I really enjoyed as I have an empathetic, caring nature.


I have assisted my Dad in creating a series of Museum exhibits for Waterford Heritage, in Ireland and am currently preparing to launch a Kickstarter campaign where I will sell homemade miniature Hobbit Hole Models.

I am also part of WWOOF UK which is an organic farming organisation that links volunteers to different farm hosts across the UK. Last July I was hosted at a farm in Devon where I helped out with all sorts of land labour such as digging, mucking out, planting, potting and wood cutting.
I don't currently have a drivers licence but I am in the process of learning.
Thanks for reading my profile! If you'd like to get into contact with me, the best way to do so would be via WhatsApp since my mobile is currently not notifying me of calls. Thanks again!

My Experience

As previously mentioned, I grew up in a house with four sisters and we were all homeschooled, so I have had lots of experience in making up fun activities and keeping siblings entertained. I have recently become an Auntie (he's four weeks old) and I take up every opportunity to help my sister out with naptime, bottle feeding and awake time, where we usually like to dance or pretend to fly like Peter Pan (him not me!). I have done a few paid babysitting jobs in the past, where we would create fun games, do arts and crafts, bake and have storytime as well as cooking dinner for the family and keeping the house tidy.
