Artist Statement
I am a painter interested in untold and overlooked female narratives. My current focus is on researching and developing a body of work about ageing, visibility and the female body for a solo exhibition, The Slow Moon Climbs, at Studio 12, Backwater Artists Group, Cork in October 2026.
I paint with acrylic primarily on raw canvas, allowing paint to bleed and stain the surface and creating a tension between control and spontaneity. This process produces images that feel porous and vulnerable, mirroring the changing body and the shifting boundaries between interior and exterior experience.
