About Tricia O’Connor

I am an artist, meditation teacher, and creative mentor working at the meeting point of creativity, mindfulness, and nervous-system regulation.

With a BA in Fine Art and an MA in Social Theory and Art Theory, alongside extensive training in meditation and trauma-informed practice, my work focuses on helping children, young people, and adults access creativity, focus, emotional regulation and self-expression through art and mindful practices.

Over the past number of years I have worked with individuals and groups through art, meditation and one-to-one support, creating spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and develop confidence through creative exploration.

I am also the author and creator of the Mystic Masters Oracle Deck, and I am currently developing my first creative card deck for children.

Hummingbird Studio

I founded Hummingbird Studio in Tralee as a calm and supportive space where creativity, mindfulness, and emotional wellbeing come together.

The studio is designed to provide a contained, nurturing environment where children and young people can explore art and develop focus, confidence, and emotional resilience at their own pace.

Our approach is rooted in the belief that creativity naturally emerges when the body and mind feel safe, supported and seen.

Through art, meditation, and mindful creativity, we help children build self-expression, emotional awareness, and confidence in a gentle and encouraging setting.
