I am a project-based artist who primarily works in the sciences, to make them more accessible for the general public.

I am primarily a fine art painter, with a Masters’ degree in Social Anthropology. Through studying art at ECA and my creative practice I have learnt how art has the ability to convey complex ideas, stir emotion, and change people’s perceptions of the world around them, by causing a very situational engagement that lasts long after the encounter itself.

Through this I’ve found it really rewarding to use art in partnership with the scientific world, to help make the latter more accessible to the general public. I have worked on these kinds of projects for a few years now, including the Surgeon’s Hall Museum where the project focused on robotic surgery, another with the Mater Misercordiae Hospital (Dublin) who were using fluorescence to teach Ai how to detect cancer. Now I focus on the natural world, specifically Bryophytes and Lichens, the macro world of plants living all around us that often go unnoticed and unappreciated but which are absolutely crucial for ecology, maintaining biodiversity, and therefore our own personal health.
