I'm a mixed-media artist and printmaker with an emphasis on collage and a love of bold colour and texture. Collage is a wonderfully tactile and often painstaking medium, but there is a joy in finding and assembling what looks like a pile of paper scraps into something that art emerges from.  Collage for me is a method of storytelling that helps me make sense of the things happening around us or to interpret the space we inhabit, especially from the viewpoint of women

​

Born in Ireland, I've been making art from an early age; from copying pictures hanging at home to making scenery for school plays.  Even though I took the conventional path in life career-wise, art still featured in the form of designing corporate documents, newsletters and flyers, with my own work sidelined to a hobby.  In 2023 however, I finally stopped years of procrastinating and took the leap to making art full-time

 

Over the years I have lived and worked in London, Canada and Luxembourg, but I've finally settled in a beautiful coastal village in Cornwall where I'm very poorly assisted by a small, grumpy terrier
