CONTEMPORARY IRISH ARTIST
My Work
I am an Irish artist working with painting and material-led processes in response to coastal environments.
My practice is rooted on the coast of Cork and is shaped by long-term attention to shoreline, tidal and harbour landscapes. I work with both conventional and natural materials — including soil, stones, plant material, charcoal, found coastal debris — allowing place to inform not only imagery, but process.
The work is concerned with presence, transition, and exchange: between land and sea, immersion and emergence. Repetition, restraint, and mark-making are used to reflect environments that are in constant flux, shaped by weather, tide, and human activity.
The work attempts to register the conditions of the place - physical, temporal, and material - through abstraction.
A little bit about me
Based in Cork, my work is informed by long-term engagement with coastal environments and by an early and sustained exposure to art and visual culture.
Alongside my artistic practice, I work professionally in technology and innovation. This parallel career has shaped my interest in systems, process, and material life cycles, and informs how I approach making, research, and collaboration.
Rather than separating these worlds, my practice allows them to sit in dialogue — grounding abstraction in lived place while remaining attentive to broader ecological and human systems.
