Stiofán

Stiofán grew up surrounded by Celtic Art, his family deeply involved in writing about, scrutinizing, and promoting it. In 1979, as a young whippersnapper, he even had the unique opportunity to ring the Bell of St. Patrick and personally examine its most elaborately decorated shrine. Yet, as children do, or don't, he showed little interest in the art and artifacts of his heritage at the time. It wasn't until much later in life that the allure of Celtic Art truly captured his heart. Now, he enthusiastically embraces his roots and wants to learn so much more —Vive les Celtic Arts!
