'An Sceil II' is a vibrant new collection of works with a strongly irish theme following the success of her first Irish Collection 'An Sceil I'. Featured in this nostalgic collection are landscapes from Cape Clear and Rathlin Island, drenched in rich greenery and rusty tones, ivy strewn stone archways and mossy piers, portraits set in time past, and a central theme of the Irish harp and it's tradition. Síofra's father Peter Kilroy, a traditional Irish harp maker, is the inspiration behind these works with paintings of his workshop and Síofra's mother playing the harp. Having grown up in this environment, this became the influence for her current collection.
