Garvan's gallery and exhibition work demonstrates a firm grip on the parallels between design principles, and takes inspiration from a broad range of contemporary influences. Recent examples include architectural, industrial, political and environmental narratives. Garvan's work has been purchased by the Ulster Museum as part of the Museum's permanent collection. Garvan is a member of C3, the exclusive collector focused panel of local designer-makers, selected by Craft NI.
