My work investigates painting as a dynamic, adaptive structure. Working between drawing, painting, and sculptural form, I build layered systems that circulate, fold, and extend beyond the flat surface. I’m interested in how a painted surface can transform while retaining vitality and how tension, rhythm, and structural pressure generate new energy rather than closure.
Dusty, muted terrain shapes my work as much as vibrant, waterlogged fields and boglands. I grew up in rural Ireland, surrounded by ever-changing skies and rivers. Now based in Spain’s Garraf region and often traveling between both places, I’m drawn to their cycles of transformation — the dry, brittle plants and red soil of Catalunya, the saturated, fertile earth of Ireland. Each holds a different kind of memory.
My practice is driven by process, moving between traditional techniques and experimental forms. I engage with unconventional methods - allowing works to overflow, extend beyond frames, or emerge organically from walls. I explore a style that blends expressive, flowing brushwork, gestural line drawing, and deliberate structural elements.
When I’m immersed in a painting’s rhythm, my process becomes intuitive - each mark a response, a variation, a dialogue with those that came before.
