I am a story maker, writer and illustrator. I specialise in making work for children. I also create art workshops and creative programs for people of all ages including children, their families and schools, adult & community groups, CPDs for teachers.
I am a recent graduate from the Masters in Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art. In 2020 & 2021, I was awarded the YPCE Bursary and Literature Project Grant from the Arts Council of Ireland. I received the MAKE theatre residency (Project Arts Centre, Theatre Forum and Dublin Fringe Festival). Currently the Artist in Residence at Marino Institute of Education.
Play, curiosity and kindness are ideas at the heart of all of my work. I love coming up with new stories and images. I am inspired by philosophy, folklore and the natural world.
Get in touch if you would like to book an online art workshop at your school or venue.
