I am a Co Wexford-based visual artist working across photography and photographic art, creating images that move between observation and interpretation. My practice spans fine art photography, landscape, nature, and more conceptual photographic work, often blurring the line between photography and painterly expression.
Using the camera as both a tool of capture and a creative instrument, I develop images that combine real-world detail with atmosphere, texture, and a sense of quiet narrative. Many of my works are rooted in the natural world: wildflowers, woodlands, coastal landscapes; but extend beyond documentation into something more interpretive, where light, form, and mood take precedence over literal representation.
Alongside my photographic work, I create hybrid photographic art pieces in which the photograph becomes both canvas and medium. Through layering, soft focus, and subtle compositing and collaging, these works are often perceived as paintings, reflecting a process that merges traditional photographic techniques with a more expressive, art-led approach.
Cló Beo is the place where my love of all things photography, print & Irish language come together and includes the beautiful Sheanfhocail Heritage Print Collection.
My work has been exhibited (see here) in solo and group exhibitions across Wexford and Dublin, including as part of the Wexford Festival Opera Fringe programme. I have been selected for juried exhibitions such as the Cork International Salon of Photography, and I hold a Licentiateship from the Irish Photographic Federation. My images have been selected as cover artwork for the Festival Opera Fringe Festival as well as being commissioned to produce photographic and art work for public display.
Alongside this work, I also undertake event and family photography, bringing the same considered and natural approach to working with people, places, and products.
Alongside my artistic practice, I work as a photography tutor, delivering funded programmes through community programmes and private workshops as well as a guest speaker at various photographic societies.
