Gerry Hesnan takes inspiration from his days as an aeronautical engineer at Aer Lingus. There he developed a love for metalwork and a reverence for design, which would lead him to found Oisin Metal Art.

The materials he uses are natural, locally sourced and recycled, such as the bog oak from Killahea bog. Working with rustic slate, copper, aluminium, stone and bog oak, Gerry sculpts original elegant designs that have an earthy Irish character.
