Northern Irish artist and designer Rachel O'Neill works at the interface between art and design using a variety of tactile materials to create wonderfully playful one-off installations and limited edition pieces for corporate and private interiors and special events.

In keeping with the deep-rooted crafts heritage of a rural society Rachel O'Neill loves working with her hands enjoying the challenge of transforming heavy-duty industrial textiles and fabrics into magically beautiful commissioned works of art or affordable design products.

Biog
Genevieve who is originally from Omagh Co Tyrone graduated from Nottingham University with a B.A.hons Degree in Theatre Design in 1989 where she met her partner Jon Kelly who graduated in Fine Art. After leaving college they have widened their experience in the areas of television and film production in London and on relocating to Ireland in 1994, they set up and established Genevieve Jon Designs a creative design partnership currently based in Enniskillen Co. Fermanagh. Together they create large scale sculptural installations of a theatrical nature, that are both innovative through their use of mediums and imaginative through their inspirational designs.

The Artists central purpose is to promote and nourish the practical creative abilities and development of creative and thinking skills of both children and adults in the community and other educational and professional contexts. This is implemented through devising and facilitating highly stimulating and challenging creative workshop programmes that combine the Visual Arts with educational themes, promoting the creation of ideas, 3D images and innovation by providing real 'hands-on' experience of the important artistic processes and their positive and empowering outcomes, resulting in a range of both indoor and outdoor sculptural and visual projects.

The partnership to date has collaborated with a wide variety of Art organisations and bodies in both the North, South and the U.K. devising and executing large scale innovative projects of a creative nature.
