The Love of Beauty is Taste

"The Love of Beauty is Taste. The Creation of Beauty is Art."

Nanichi means ‘my heart/soul’ and explains what art and craft means to Anguillian native Ilka Harrigan.

Ilka’s sense of creativity and ability to work with her hands was realized at a tender age. She entered several art competitions and participated in several art & craft summer camps; excelling in that field all of her life. It is with no question that she was born into a family of artist; as she compares herself to her father who is an architect, wood work artist and tailor. Upon moving to the Nation’s Capital in 2005, Ilka found her fate in jewelry designing and crafting; it began as a mere hobby and the rest is history.
