A Cork City native, I trained and worked as a stylist and tailor in London & Cork before completing my BA (Hons) in Fine Art: Printmaking & Contemporary Practice at Limerick School of Art & Design.
My work uses humour and satire to explore subjective impact of post-colonial legacy structures on Ireland’s resident lifeforms through the media of printmaking, installation, co-creation & intervention.
I have exhibited extensively in solo and group exhibitions in Ireland and abroad. I have also developed, curated and directed exhibitions and arts festivals in Cork.
Recent artistic achievements include:
The acceptance of 3 works to this year’s RHA Annual Exhibition
Awarded an R&D award through the Artist in the Community Scheme funded by the Arts Council of Ireland, managed by Create
Providing a printmaking workshop at St. Peter’s, Cork City, for Cruinniú na n-Óg 2024
Corcaíoch dúchasach, rinne mé oiliúint agus d'oibrigh mé mar stílí agus táilliúir i Londain agus i gCorcaigh sular chríochnaigh mé mo BA (Onóracha) sa Mhínealaín: Clódóireacht & Cleachtas Comhaimseartha i Scoil Ealaíne & Deartha Luimnigh.
Úsáideann mo chuid oibre greann agus aoir chun tionchar suibiachtúil struchtúir oidhreachta iarchoilíneachta ar shaolréanna cónaitheoirí na hÉireann a fhiosrú.
Bainim úsáid as meáin éagsúla clódóireachta chun mo chuid oibre a chruthú, ag turgnamh le ealaíon suiteáil, cómhchruthú agus idirghabháil freisin.
