About
Having founded her eponymous studio in 2006, Aiveen Daly is now one of London’s leading specialist textile artists. Aiveen works with flawless precision and 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 fourteenth birthday. Over the years, she has lived all over the world including in St Petersburg and Sydney, gleaning inspiration from her travels. On moving to London, she embraced sewing and textiles at the London College of Fashion and drawing and painting classes at Central St Martins. It was however a professional upholstery course that introduced her to interiors. She had found her true metier, and this was the perfect foundation on which to build on her passion for textile artistry.
She works collaboratively with many of the world’s most distinguished designers and architects to create the custom statement artworks that their clients covet. From London to Shanghai to New York, her works now grace the walls of 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.
