About this listen

My guest for this episode is highly acclaimed designer and artist Helen Steele who, from her paint-splattered studio in County Monaghan, creates a unique style of wearable art. Her work has brought her around the world, selling her slow fashion in places like France, Germany, UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain.


At a time when lockdown restrictions were lifting in Ireland, when we could dare to dream about travel again, I spoke with Helen about the destinations she longs to visit and the ones that will forever hold a place in her heart.


Helen talks about the influence that the colours and natural lights of North Africa and the Middle East have had on her work; falling in love with Damascus; finding escape in Sicily; and discovering the vastness of the world in Australia.


I hope you enjoy. And thanks for listening!
