About

 

I am a visual artist with a focus on painting, drawing and animation based in Cork, Ireland. Themes of identity, personal narrative and belonging are explored through a keen connection to the Irish landscape and the creatures we share our lands with.

 

DIY principles are at the core of my work, striving to create space, community and opportunities for sharing knowledge. Producer at Cork Zine Fest; inviting zine enthusiasts to come together and share their work as well as hosting performances, discussions and workshops throughout the weekend.

​

Member of Sample-Studios, Visual Artists Ireland (VAI) and Design and Crafts Council Ireland (DCCI).

​

In June - July 2025 I will be artist-in-residence at the Triskel Sample Project Space. This project will focus on a set of drawers  and unfinished paintings inherited from my grandfather’s studio, with which I will be exploring spiritual themes and grief.
