Don’t be afraid to learn and explore new things & frontiers. Open your heart, be a student, learn what is actually possible, engage, and follow your dreamsLive your life afield with passion!Passionately Going FurtherTM““My enthusiasm for all things outdoors started at a young age. I will never forget the rush of excitement I had as a young girl in my Boston Whaler along the Toms River and Barnegat Bay. It was this same enthusiasm that drew me towards a career in the outdoors along with sharing my passion with those who have made the outdoors a foundational element of who they are.Today, Artistry Afield offers guests diverse, well-planned, and uncommon moments while allowing them to make the most of their time outside. From chasing Snipe in the bogs of Ireland (with specialized and experienced Snipe and Woodcock dogs), to immersing yourself in Eastern Shore traditions, to enjoying the culinary marvels of the best saltwater fish or freshly harvested game, each one of our experiences has been designed to offer you something that few have the opportunity to experience in a lifetime.I am thrilled to present you our two experiences of Snipe and Woodcock shooting in Ireland. Having enjoyed the trip this past November, I can assure you extraordinary moments afield not soon to be forgotten. As you plan to experience these centuries-old, sporting traditions of an old country, I hope you will relish everything this majestic place will offer you. In my opinion, these experiences will be an opportunity of a lifetime to pursue two gamebirds that have systematically defined a way of life for so many and for so long.
