Sculpture Artist

The wild within us. Capturing the stubborn beauty of windswept trees and urban crows, an ode to their resilience.The windswept trees, twisted from the elements, grow triumphant. The crows, take ownership of their harsh, urban environment and stand proud.Predominately working in wire, using various metals, finishes and techniques, the wire is the sculptural interpretation of the drawn line.

 

Graduated with a 2:1 in Fine & Applied Art from University of Ulster, 2007, specialising in sculpture.

 

Currently a member of the Creative Peninsula. Over the last 15 years I have exhibited throughout Northern Ireland and Ireland in venues such as the RUA Annual Show (Ulster Museum), Sligo, Westport, Ards Art Centre, Down Arts Centre, Castleward, the Walled Garden, Bangor and in Mountstewart. I currently have work in many respected galleries within Northern Ireland.
