Alice Byrne
Mixed Media, Jewellery, Photography
As a young German woman with an adventurous spirit, Alice originally came to Fernie to work as a nanny. That was 26 years ago. She married and settled here to raise three children. The Byrne household has welcomed many young people besides their own to enjoy one of Alice’s home-cooked meals. Alice is an enthusiastic gardener, an avid skier and has endless energy. Her curiosity has opened up many forms of creativity, from original jewellery to her famous tie hats and other forms of mixed media. Alice travels widely, reflected in her photographs from around the world. Common elements in all Alice’s work is her signature playfulness and a bold use of vivid colours.
