About Aiveen Daly:

Having founded her studio in 2006, Aiveen Daly is now one of London’s leading specialist textile artists. Aiveen works with flawless precision and individual specialist techniques with a wide range of textiles – including silk, wool, and leather. Her soft, meditative style lends an almost ethereal quality to her art. Her delicate artworks are both beautifully intricate and highly tactile, featuring exquisite embroidery and beadwork, and sculptural leatherwork.

Aiveen discovered her love for textiles as a teenager growing up in Cork, Ireland when she was given a sewing machine for her 14th birthday. Over the years Aiveen has lived all over the world including in St Petersburg and Sydney, gleaning inspiration from her travels. On moving to London, Aiveen embraced sewing and textiles at London College of Fashion and drawing and painting classes at Central St Martins. It was however a professional upholstery course that introduced her to textile manipulation. She had found her true metier, and this was the perfect foundation on which to build on her passion for textile artistry

From concept to completion, Aiveen works collaboratively with the world’s most distinguished designers and architects to create the custom statement artworks that clients covet. She has partnered with designers on several award-winning projects including Katharine Pooley, SHH and Winch Design. Her extensive expertise, coupled with the skill of her multi-disciplinary team enables her to work with designers to precisely choose the right aesthetic and techniques for each individual commission.

From London to Shanghai to New York, her works grace many of the world’s most prestigious residences and commercial properties (including the Corinthia London and The Langham Hong Kong) as well as on board superyachts and private jets.
