Rita Ann has many life experiences; from running her own Architectural and food businesses, fundraising for communities and the homeless, gaining a qualification in Radio Broadcasting and producing a documentary for RTE Doc on One, to name but a few.
Having studied Architecture at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), she returned to Sligo, Ireland, in 1992 and established her own private architectural practice. Over a 15 year period, she worked on a variety of projects from their inception to completion and collaborated with other Architectural practices.
Having completed a BA(Hons) in Ceramic Design at Limerick School of Art and Design, TUS (Midwest), in 2022, Rita Ann feels she has come full circle back to her creative roots.
Experimenting with different clays and techniques it is allowing her to question, explore and express the essence of who, what and how we are in the world. As a maker, Rita Ann uses ceramics to explore both personal and social issues.
