Light. Movement. Transformation.

I am a Dublin-based visual artist working in abstract mixed media, creating contemporary artworks inspired by light, rhythm and the ever-changing patterns of nature.

My practice is centred on colour, layering and intuitive mark-making. Each piece evolves through a process of creating with an experimental flow, allowing energy and structure to coexist. The result is work that feels both expressive and balanced, bringing depth and atmosphere to interior spaces.

Art Designed for Contemporary Interiors

Alongside my exhibition practice, I collaborate with interior designers and private collectors to create bespoke artworks tailored to architectural space.

With a background in business and marketing, commercial photography and Interior Design, I understand the practical realities of design projects — timelines, scale, client approval and installation. My commission process is clear, professional and collaborative from concept through to completion.

Each artwork is developed in response to:

• Spatial flow and wall proportion
• Material palette and natural light
• The emotional tone of the interior

Whether a large-scale statement piece or a curated series, my aim is always to create work that feels integral, enhancing the space rather than competing with it.

My work is defined by layered depth, mineral tones and a refined exploration of light, designed to integrate seamlessly into architectural environments.

Studio & Practice

Over the past three decades, my creative journey has evolved into a full-time studio practice encompassing original paintings, fine art prints and textile design.

Creativity has become my way of connecting with others. I create original paintings, fine art prints, and textile pieces such as silk scarves and ties, blending vibrant colour, movement and texture to capture the essence of the Irish landscape. My silk collections translate my abstract language into wearable art — extending my exploration of movement and colour beyond the canvas.

I exhibit regularly in Ireland and my work is held in private collections across Europe, USA and beyond.

Alongside my studio practice, I exhibit widely in solo and group shows, teach art workshops, and design collections that bring art into everyday life. I’m a founding member of the Farmleigh en plein air group, a former Chairperson of Horizon Art Group, a professional member of Visual Artists Ireland, and a proud member of the Design & Crafts Council Ireland, all of which keep me deeply engaged in the Irish arts community. I love to connect with people who resonate with my art practice, who feel something and relate to it and are inspired and connect with my work.

For me, art is not only about what you see, but about what you feel. Each piece is an invitation to pause, reflect, and discover something new within yourself.

I strongly believe that everyone has the ability to be creative once you remove the fear of failure. This philosophy is applied constantly in my work and I experiment and push my own creative boundaries in a fluid and creative style of painting.
