Art Painting
Themes and
style:
She is a
painter of prodigious versatility and inventiveness whose work has always drawn
from a wide range of visual sources. While she has often integrated
photographic materials and processes into her painting, in a number of novel
ways, her primary fidelity has been to the medium of painting, in all its
bewildering variety. Recently she has moved gradually away from her
idiosyncratic revisioning of the tradition of the romantic sublime and entered
a more personal zone creating a series of strange and compelling ‘mindscapes’.
Her first major solo exhibition was at the Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol, in 1990.
In the same year she was included in the seminal 'British Art Show', which
first introduced many of the most prominent younger British artists to a wider
public.
Techniques:
Her work
is developed in paintings, mostly oil on canvas.
Exhibitions
She has had one-person exhibitions at various
venues in Ireland, Britain, Germany, France and Spain including Towner
Contemporary Art Museum, Eastbourne (2011), the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery,

Keynes Gallery in 2004. She has held fellowships at the Tate Gallery, Liverpool
and Saarlandisches Kunstlerhaus, Saarbrucken, Germany. Selected group
exhibitions include; Landscape, Hite Collection, Soeul, Korea (2012),
Interlude, Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin (2011), The Royal Academy Summer show,
