I am an artist and teacher based in Galway. I received an honours degree in Fine Art, Painting from the Limerick School of Art and Design in 2009. I work in a variety of different media, and have worked for a number of Irish artist-run spaces and organisations in the past.
In August 2020, I presented "Everyone, everybody, every person, every person, every person, every person" a new solo exhibition and book at Engage Studios, Galway, Ireland. In June 2019, I exhibited a body of new watercolour works in a solo exhibition entitled 'Lift Yourself' at Pallas Projects/Studios in Dublin, as part of their Artist Initiated Projects.
My recent work has featured a lot CGI and is interested in memory, pop music, how we overcome blockages and breakdowns in communication, both at a personal level and public level, and the point at which verisimilitude fails.
My work is supported by Ealaín na Gaeltachta, the Arts Council of Ireland, and Galway County Council.
