Walking the shamanic pathway has always been at the heart of her work, a sense of connection which transcends time and place and focuses on our very existence, our ancestors and the fragility of life. Her paintings, which offer a journey beyond the immediate reality of our world, created in a deeply meditative and solitary process are rooted in a wildness she seeks to capture with a purity of expression beyond the physical act of painting. Believing in the healing power of creativity, this is incorporated into her teaching practice, where she designs and facilitates workshops such as The Art of Soul Journaling.</p><p>With two decades as a professional artist her numerous solo exhibitions include: Loughcrew Megalithic Centre, The Excel Arts Centre Tipperary, The Ulster Hall, The Waterside Arts Centre Derry, The Market Place Arts Centre Armagh, The Alley Arts Centre Strabane, The Five Lamps Arts Festival- 2016; where as part of the centenary commemorations for the Easter Rising she exhibited ‘Na Leanai’ Children of 1916 reimagining the lives of the children who were killed and in 2017; B.O.R.N a social commentary concerning the plight of women and children worldwide inspired by media coverage of real events at The Point Village in Dublin. Her work has been selected to exhibit in many open submission competitions and features in private and public collections including Microsoft, ESB, Dept Foreign Affairs, Irish Life, Impact Trade Union, Bologna District Council, Behaviour and Attitudes.
