Contemporary Visual Art

Bio

I am an Artist and Teacher and currently based in my studio in County Roscommon. Having taught both nationally and internationally for several years, I returned to study Art full time at ATU Galway. My work explores the transience of human existence and the delicate nature of our shared moments. Experiences such as life, death, loss and memory are recurrent themes within my practice and artwork, much of which ultimately alludes to the fleeting nature of life. Within my work I invite viewers to contemplate the impermanence and brevity of life and the profound beauty which can be found in shared human experiences. I view the concept of memory as an intangible thing which can be converted to objects whether found or made and influenced by lived experiences. My works and process span across a variety of materials including drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, photography, music, videography and digital media.

Here you will see some snippets of work I have worked on through out 4 projects in 3rd Year Contemporary Art at ATU Galway. You can also view more videos, highlights and posts on these on my social media pages.
