I am a visual artist working in video, drawing, photography and installation, using place specific vegetation as inspiration. I work from my artist studio, in a large town on the west coast of Ireland. My recent projects explore contemporary interpretations of folklore, plants dyes, foraging and growing. Using plants found in my immediate landscape, I aim to transpose their qualities into a self fabricated folklore feminism. Follow me on Instagram for regular updates.
