Tina Claffey

For almost 10 years, she lived in pristine wilderness areas in Botswana, photographing the flora, fauna and wildlife whilst working in the safari tourism industry. This experience awakened an appreciation of the natural world of my home country of Ireland, in particular its bogs and wetlands.

Her observations and unique perspective of the flora and fauna of the unspoilt raised bogs and wet woodlands of the Irish midlands are celebrated in her work.

Claffey has exhibited in the US (New York & San Fransisco), Botswana, Zambia and throughout Ireland.

She has been honoured with awards from highly prestigious world competitions including International Photography Awards, Fine Art Photography Awards, BigPicture-Natural World Photography, Close Up Photographer of the Year , and IGSPOTY (International Garden Photographer of the Year)

Her photography work is part of many art collections, such as the permanent collection at Aras an Uachtarain, the home of the Irish President.
