About Me

​

​

I currently live in Ballaghaderreen, Co. Roscommon and recently graduated from NCAD, Dublin, having  studied Fine Art Painting and Education. My painting practice at present focuses on the significance of objects and artefacts and the often obsolete processes involved in their creation. My work is often introspective, informed by my surroundings, interests and experiences. Themes in my work include ancient history, nature and psychology, and frequently takes the form of a self portrait which often comes in the form of assemblages of objects/still lives.

​

Although primarily a painter, I am also very interested in heritage skills and practices and their enduring relevance in a contemporary context. The majority of the objects on display and depicted in my painted work have been made from scratch by me, such as taxidermy and Bronze Age experimental castings. I have always been a collector and self-made objects have a particular significance for me, as well as the knowledge gained from making them. The process itself of making these objects is of great significance for me- I feel in touch with something ancient and venerated. 

I am always happy to receive enquiries about existing work or commissions. To do so, please contact me here.
