I am a visual artist based in Dublin. My practice is concerned with expressions and iterations of complex personal and cultural narratives. I take my own mixed-race Irish identity as a starting point from which to explore experiences of race, place and belonging. My work centres processes of collaboration and interdisciplinary exchange from which I develop film, performance, print, text, and sculpture—creating new intersectional objects for gallery based exhibition and large scale public art commission. I completed a PhD in Art at the Kingston School of Art, London in 2018 and an MA at Goldsmiths College in 2010. In 2020 I was the recipient of a 3 Year Studio Membership at Temple Bar Gallery+Studios. In 2021 I was awarded the Visual Arts Project Award

Recent projects include: Mehrfamilienhaus, Ricochet #14, Museum Villa Stuck, Munich, 2023; Family Lines Project, Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin, 2021-22; Truth Flags Identity, Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, 2020; The Nomoli/Father talk, VERY Project Space, Berlin, 2019, and The Open Object, Stanley Picker Gallery, London, 2018.

My work is held in the collections of Trinity College Dublin, The Irish Museum of Modern Art, The Cathal Ryan Trust and The Arts Council of Ireland.
