I studied history and anthropology before choosing to focus fully on art. I spent years thinking about how identities are shaped, how cultures carry memory, how stories survive across time, and that way of looking at the world never left me.

My work grows from this attention to layers. Contemporary identities are not new creations, they are built from multiple historical strata, sometimes visible, sometimes buried: what we call “now” is always carrying something older inside it. I am interested in making these layers perceptible.

I work with mythology, especially Irish mythology not as a closed canon but as something still moving. Myths change because people change, they are reshaped by those who need them, sometimes new figures appear and old ones take new meanings. I see my practice as part of this ongoing process of mythmaking.

As an artist, I do not stand outside of what I study. Painting allows me to enter the conversation. Through watercolour and mosaic, I try to create images that hold complexity, that allow different identities to exist side by side without being reduced.

Working with communities is essential to me. Art is a space where ideas can move between people. By bringing these reflections on history, myth and identity into a shared environment, I hope to open a space where difference is not experienced as separation, but as part of a long, intertwined story.
