ARTIST STATEMENT

My art delves into Irish identity, navigating the nuanced intersections of history, culture and belonging. Hailing from the west of Ireland, my art practice has been shaped by the natural wonders that surround me – from fields and cliffs to spring wells, sea waves, trees, and animals. Each element forms a chapter in the ongoing narrative of identity and environment.

Influenced by a background in Art History, I embrace a research-based approach that adds depth and meaning to my creations. I have cultivated a deeply personal symbolism, a visual language that aims to reflects and actively contribute to the legacy and evolution of my culture.

I invite diverse audiences to engage with the stories embedded in our individual experiences and collective consciousness.
