I became a full-time artist in 2011 when I became one of three co-founding directors of Sample-Studios (www.sample-studios.com) where I still hold the role of Financial Manager. I have exhibited both nationally and internationally in Europe.
From 2021-2024, I was on the board of the Design and Craft Council of Ireland. I am member and former committee member of the Cork Textiles Network and I became a member of the National Sculpture Factory since 2018.
I use photography to document small things of wonder in the everyday: interesting textures, natural patterns, shadow and reflected light.
In my practice, I use recycled and natural materials, testing properties that allow me to fuse things in unexpected ways. Ephemerality makes up part of the work as natural items and thermal paper will fade with light and time. Some items will carry traces of past events that augment the work. These are all ways of keeping a journal
