Be An Irish Explorer is an art journal that Bex wrote and illustrated. It journeys around Ireland suggesting creative ideas related to Irish places and traditions. There is space on each page for the reader/artist to stretch their imaginations and artistic skills – at the same time as offering a little bit of ‘sneaky’ education!
The book was written in the evenings whilst Bex was working as a learning support teacher and had the idea to make an art journal that would encourage creativity and be related to the wonderful isle of Ireland.
Bex knows that everyone starts out as creative and has yet to meet someone who when pushed can’t remember something creative they did when they were younger. Usually alas, until the dreaded day that some well-meaning adult looked at their work and uttered the terrible words…”That’s lovely, what is it?”
