Orla has been working from her purpose built studio for the last 20 years. She has had six major solo shows and completed twenty public sculptures. She works with a variety of materials including bronze, steel, stone, fibreglass and recently photography.

She brings subjects and materials together that on first glance seem incompatible and yet they seamlessly work with this unique style.

Combining steel with gold, or fibreglass with polished bronze, always intrigued with juxtaposed ideas and textures.

de Brí is very much a hands on sculptor, enjoying every aspect of the work; from the concept of the first drawing through to all the different physical processes.
