I am an artist and teacher based in the west of Ireland. 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.
In 2022, I will present new work in a solo exhibition at Custom House Studios, Westport, Co Mayo.
My recent work has leaned increasingly towards CGI and is interested in; memory, pop music as a vernacular culture, 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.

Is ealaíontóir agus múinteoir mé atá i mo chónaí i nGaillimh. Fuair mé céim onóracha sa bPéintéireacht ó Scoil Ealaíne agus Deartha Luimnigh i 2009. Oibrím i meáin éagsúla, agus d’oibrigh mé do roinnt spásanna agus eagraíochtaí a reáchtáil ealaíontóirí Éireannacha san am atá thart.
I mí Lúnasa 2020, chuir mé taispeántas aonar agus leabhair nua ar siúl i Engage Studios, Gaillimh, Éire dar teideal, "Everyone, everybody, every person, every person, every person, every person,". I mí Meithimh 2019, thaispeáin mé roinnt shaothair uiscedhath nua i dtaispeántas aonair dar teideal ‘Lift Yourself’ ag Pallas Projects/Studios i mBaile Átha Cliath.
I 2022, cuirfidh mé saothar nua i láthair i taispeátais aonarach i Custom House Studios, Cathair na Mairt, Co Maigh Eo.
Tá mo chuid oibre le déanaí ag claonadh níos mó i dtreo CGI agus tá suim aige san chaoi a ndéanann muid bacainní cumarsáid a shárú, ar leibhéal pearsanta agus poiblí. Tá suim aige chomh maith i gcuimhní, ceol pop mar chultúr dúchasach, agus an pointe a dteipeann ar fhírinneacht.
Faigheann mé tacaíocht i mo chuid oibre ó Ealaín na Gaeltachta, Comhairle Ealaíon na hÉireann, agus Comhairle Contae na Gaillimhe.
