I’m a Kilkenny-based artist. I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art (Painting) from Limerick School of Art and Design in 2024, where I was longlisted for the 2024 RDS Visual Art Awards. In recent years, my practice has become increasingly interdisciplinary, working across painting, drawing, and sculptural processes.

I’ve exhibited nationally and internationally, including at The Hunt Museum and Ormston House, Limerick; GOMA, Waterford; and iP12 House, Chania, Crete. In 2025, I undertook a three-month residency with Breaking the Patterns in Chania, Crete, and in 2026, was awarded the Artlinks Bursary Award.
