Aoife Kelly de Klerk
A spinal and brain injury Occupational Therapist and former International Rose of Tralee, Aoife left Ireland in 2009 for South Africa. After a Post Grad in Management, and years as a creative director, she founded the Tevah Moshe Baby Saver and began to pursue her love for photography while raising her family.
Aoife returned to the East Coast of Ireland in 2022 with a deep seated desire to further explore her Faith through Fine Art Photography. Her interest lies in belief, belonging, and empathy. Her work invites the viewer into a contemplative space where time slows and solace offered in the prospect of the relational.
