I am a Dublin-based multidisciplinary artist, working in print, painting, and ceramics. My current body of work, through prints and sculpture, explores superstition as something woven into our everyday life. Superstitions are beliefs and behaviors typically passed down through generations, connecting us to the past present and future. Rituals are the products of superstitions, the comforting belief that a ritual or object has the power to bring good luck or fortune. I am drawn to explore the small, learned actions or rituals such as placing objects; the Child of Prague, crossing fingers, touching wood, making a wish on a wishbone, or finding a four-leaf clover. All of which reflects the human need for reassurance and control over fate, turning irrational fears into tangible visual representations. The hand becomes a central image for this, both ordinary and symbolic. These gestures, however small, offer ways of continuing to hold onto the possibility that things might turn out well. We live in hope. I have exhibited in 'Down the Road, Around the Corner', Pallas Projects/Studios (2026), 'The Secret of Colour and Light', curated by Sahoko Blake ARHA, Walters Bar, Dún Laoghaire (2025), 'Better than Ambrosia', curated by Dylan Yearsley, The Orangery, Marlay Park (2025), 'Flock', curated by Dr. Selina Guinness, Dublin Art Book Fair, Temple Bar Gallery (2025), 'Fictions: The makings of other worlds', curated by Adrian Duncan, Dublin Art Book Fair, Temple Bar Gallery (2024) and 'The Place Project', IMMA Studios (2023). I am the recipient of the Graphic Studio Dublin Graduate Award 2026.
