I am an Irish visual artist and curator whose practice is rooted in speculative methodologies, storytelling, and exploring sustainable models of artistic productivity under late capitalism. I’m particularly drawn to how exhibitions can create hopeful, alternative realities—how they act not merely as sites of display but as spaces of political imagination and collective speculation.

My academic background includes an MLitt in Curatorial Practice (Contemporary Art) from Glasgow School of Art and a BA in Fine Art from Crawford College of Art and Design. My research has consistently explored fiction as a political tool, particularly through an Irish postcolonial lens. My curatorial work often challenges traditional frameworks by embedding everyday labour—hospitality, caretaking, waiting—as artistic methodologies, questioning access to space and practice in precarious conditions.

I have just returned to Ireland having gained experience in the arts in Tasmania, Australia and am open to discussing future projects here. My most recent work has included a response to Lily O’Shea’s work as part of Commune, Muine Bheag Arts, Carlow, when all the fires go out a collaborative text for Bloomers Bless the Corners of this House and old hag you have killed me a radio show as part of Radio Solstice for Cork Midsummer Festival.

Previous projects supported by the Arts Council of Ireland include; Table Games a solo exhibition by Nina Nadig and Eva George Richardson McCrea, The Crypt at St. Luke’s, Cork, Ireland, 2022, Can you hear me Damo? a solo exhibition by Anne May Tabb, St Peter’s Vision Centre, Cork, Ireland, 2022, Slow Puncture a solo exhibition by Lily O’Shea, The Lord Mayor’s Pavilion, Cork and a passive house, event series comprising of food event and artist presentations, with Fiona Kelly, Dori O’Connell, Mary O’Leary and Lily O’Shea at Rebel Reads, Cork, Ireland, 2021.

Further curatorial projects include; a passive house, Fiona Kelly, Dori O’Connell, Mary O’Leary and Lily O’Shea, relaxation*, Siuán Ní Dhochartaigh, Glasgow, UK; Over or Under, Molly O’Leary and Dominique Rivard, co-curated with Joe Henry and Cecelia Graham, Glasgow, UK; and Burning Down
the House, Cork, Ireland, Avril Corroon, Michelle Doyle and Isabel English. 
I was curatorial resident with TACTIC Visual Arts Programme, Sample Studios, Cork, graduate resident at NO. 46 Grand Parade Gallery, Cork, desk research resident at The Guesthouse Project, Cork.

My work in the service industry as waitress/bar-tender/kitchen porter remain a large part of my practice.
