Tell us about your artistic journey: I did a PLC course in fashion buying, styling and visual merchandising in Galway, which led me to Limerick School of Art Design. I had my heart set on graphic design, but I gravitated towards printmaking as I loved the hands-on process and variety of print techniques. It really was a playground for an artist to try a multitude of new things.
It’s a brave step to go solo as a young artist, how did that transpire? At my final year degree show, the OPW purchased three of my pieces which made me realise that people were interested in my work. When Martina, the owner of the Hamilton Gallery, saw my installation in LSAD she asked if I had enough work for a solo show. Without hesitation, I said yes! I could immediately visualise what I wanted to make to fill the gallery. This opportunity kept the momentum going which is very important to me as a graduate artist.
