In Her Hands - Celebrating Creative Women in Business

In Her Hands


A celebration of women, their stories, their work, and the things they create with their own two hands.


In Her Hands is a collection of honest, intimate stories from women who have built something of their own, careers, businesses, creative practices, and lives that feel true to them.


At the heart of every story is the same thing: the woman behind it.


The hands that create.

The hands that care.

The hands that keep going.

The hands that make it happen.


This is In Her Hands, a space to celebrate women, in all that they do.

IN HER HANDS — MAEVE THE MAKEUP ARTIST


10 years of doing makeup and beauty treatments, and a lot of people, stories and moments along the way.


Maeve’s work is all about making people feel good and I wanted to capture that side of what she does, as well as the work itself.


A little look at Maeve, her space and what she does best.
