Artist info
Als Autodidaktin und Medienkünstlerin in Berlin erforsche ich die tiefere Erinnerungswelt der Archetypen und wie sie in der uns umgebenden Landschaft widerhallen.
Das Aufwachsen im Westen Irlands hat meine Erkundung von Erinnerung und Vorstellungskraft beeinflusst, die beide im Mittelpunkt meiner Arbeit stehen. Anstelle von spezifischen Orten oder Menschen geht es mir um eine tiefere Reflexion über die Natur und die Art und Weise, wie sie unsere Erfahrung der Gegenwart entwickeln kann, und zwar mit Hilfe eines Generationengedächtnisses, das ich in meinen Gemälden herauszukitzeln versuche.
Ich kombiniere traditionelle Zeichen- und Maltechniken mit digitaler Manipulation und Collage-Elementen, um komplizierte und lebendige Kunstwerke zu schaffen, die Neugier und Nachdenken anregen. Einige Kunstwerke stellen abstrakte Fragen, während andere einfach ein Grund sind, innezuhalten, zu schauen, durchzuatmen und sich zu erinnern.
3 meiner Bilder hängen im HSE Corporate Finance Center, Irish Government Building, Dublin, Irland.

As a self-taught mixed media artist based in Berlin, I explore the deeper memory world of archetypes and how they resonate in the landscape around us.
Growing up in the West of Ireland influenced my exploration of memory and imagination, both of which are central to my work and rather than specific places or people are a deeper reflection on nature and the ways it can develop our experience of the present, by means of a generational memory that is a thread I try to tease out in my paintings, drawing inspiration from folklore and mythology to unravel the hidden stories that our natural surroundings hold.
Combining traditional drawing and painting techniques with digital manipulation and collage elements to create intricate and vibrant artworks that inspire curiosity and reflection, some artworks ask abstract questions, while others are simply a reason to pause, look, take a breath and remember.
Three of my artworks hang in the HSE Corporate Finance Center, Irish Government Building, Dublin, Ireland.
Westival Gallery
Oct 23rd - 28th 2019
Through an open call, artists were invited to submit work on Westival 2019’s theme, ‘Brittle / Fragile’. The result was an exciting and varied group show showcasing selected work from Irish and international artists, featuring sculpture, painting, drawing and photography.
The theme proved a generous, many-headed muse, with artists responding in a huge variety of ways and presenting a multiplicity of creative interpretations – personal fragility, vulnerability as strength, frailty engendering feelings of protectiveness, the brittle geopolitical landscape, the fragility and ever-increasing vulnerability of our planet….
