The St Brigid print, inspired by Ireland’s first female saint, is intended to empower. Brigid was named after one of the most powerful goddesses in the Pagan religion – the goddess of fire, whose manifestations were song, craftsmanship, and poetry. These pursuits were considered by the Irish to be the flames of knowledge. The Feast of Brigid is celebrated on the 1st of February, marking the start of the pagan festival of spring. The print’s color scheme was heavily informed by Harry Clark’s Saint Brigid stained-glass window at Saint Mary’s Church in Ballinnrobe, County Mayo.

The Féileacàn print collection is Jennifer’s new Spring 2020 range. The collection came to fruition out of Jennifer ‘s desire to raise awareness and help save the vital species in danger of extinction to preserve the earth’s future survival. The Luna print from this collection is inspired by the Morpho Butterfly. These beautiful butterflies are known for the vivid blue color of their wings.

The Luna print showcases beautiful vibrant colors and contrasts a dance of wings throughout the night while the Ulysses print is a more contemporary adaption of the butterfly theme with contrasting black and neon colors throughout.
