About

Born in Enniscorthy, Ireland, during the height of the ‘Troubles’ to an Irish mother and an English father, I grew up with a deep, bodily awareness of the socio-political definitions that define and bind us when left unquestioned. This understanding profoundly influences my work and life.

I currently live in Mparntwe-Alice Springs, central Australia where I work as an artist-mentor-writer. By this I mean, that I am governed by an ethics of generative creativity as inseparable to the ethos of working on and of Arrernte Country

In 2018, I co-founded Stick Mob Studio alongside Declan Miller (Arrernte, Anmatyerre, Scottish, Irish). Stick Mob is a collective of artists committed to writing, publishing, illustrating, and exhibiting stories that reimagine different spacetimematterings.

Collaborative works have been exhibited in the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA); Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A), London, England; Chester Beatty Library, Dublin, Ireland; UNSW Galleries, Sydney, Australia; Araluen Art Gallery, Mparntwe-Alice Springs; Parliament House, Canberra, and Watch This Space Gallery, Mparntwe, Central Australia as well as at festivals in Galway, Dublin, Tipperary, and Wolverhampton.

Creative works won awards with ATOM (Australian Teachers of Media), First Nations Media, and NARIS (National Alliance for Remote Indigenous Schools).
