Tairseach To the Inner World
62cm x 47cm Mixed Media Painting with Sculptural Elements
The ocean becomes the collapsing human mind like a vast, natural force reclaiming what was once contained. A woman’s hair surges like storm waves, rising to destroy the fragile ship of human ambition. Her multiple eyes, open yet fading, reflect failing memory and consciousness dissolving back into the indifferent sea. A small doorway in her chest reveals a fox, a guide leading the viewer away from the disintegrating psyche, across the threshold (or Tairseach) into nature’s dominion. The sculpted tentacles emphasize nature breaking free from the constraints of the human frame, literally overtaking the artwork’s structure.
Exhibited at the SparkNet Art Hub and Gallery in the exhibition “What if Nature Wins?” in November 2025.
Requiem for Humanity (2025) SOLD
Oil on canvas with a sculptural frame intervention 39x73cm
This piece depicts the quiet aftermath in the outer world. An abandoned piano, overgrown with moss and ethereal light of the ghost of forgotten human songs. The same fox now rests upon it, listening as nature’s slow, patient requiem replaces human music. A hidden fairy door glows faintly nearby, the last remnant of the inner world, now fully absorbed into the forest. From the frame a real branch merges with and consumes the traditional structure, symbolising nature’s final triumph over human artifice.

The Green Memory (2025)
Oil on canvas with sculptural frame
This work depicts a world grown quiet, allowing old spirits to return. A figure woven from leaf and light emerges, her form interlaced with vines reminiscent of a brídeóg, an effigy of the goddess Brigid. The frame, built from real branches, extends the painting into our space, blurring the line between art and nature.
A ladybird rests nearby, a token of Irish luck. The piece portrays nature reclaiming the world and at the same time tenderly remembering and dreaming of what was lost.
Threshold of Becoming (2025)
54cm x 44cm Mixed media
This painting places the human being between dream and reality, her head dissolving into clouds, her body opening into a hidden door. She is both present and in transition, holding the tension between what is inherited and what is still possible. The work reflects the fragile yet powerful state of the present moment: a threshold where systems can either be reproduced or dismantled, where imagination itself becomes an act of resistance. The keyhole within her suggests that change begins inside the human body: through memory, emotion, and lived experience. But it also invites others to enter, to step across into futures that have not yet been written.
Intrinsic Harmony (2025)
Oil and gold on paper 21 x 29.7 cm
Against invisible wars, peace garrisons itself within. The bird merging with the figure is armistice embodied, guarded by the heart’s keyhole under a ceasefire of stars. A quiet voice no chaos can silence. Voicing peace in this sense means expressing stories of survival, dignity, and hope even when hardship lingers.
Exhibited at the ‘Irish Arts and Human Rights Festival,’ Smashing Times International Centre, Dublin, in October 2025
Where Scars Sing
Mixed media on paper 29.7 x 42 cm
A battlefield of fractures, repaired in gold, becomes a truce where peace whispers through mended wounds. The bird’s touch: calm forged in the aftermath.
It suggests that peace is not a passive state where all conflict has disappeared, but an active, lived condition shaped by endurance and inner fortitude.

I Am Because We Are (2025)
Oil on paper 46 x 40 cm
“I Am Because We Are” is a powerful act of reclamation that interrogates the visual codes of power and history. The work centers a Black woman within the aesthetic framework of European aristocracy, not to assimilate, but to subvert it, asserting her unassailable dignity, sovereignty, and role as a central force of resilience.

acrylics on paper 20,5 x 25
Seated in regal splendor upon a throne of fantasy, a crowned rabbit presides over a dreamlike court where playing cards whirl through the air, mushrooms bloom like dancers, and chess pieces guard the black-and-white floor. Painted over an old portrait of Napoleon and housed in an ornate vintage frame, this work embodies both transformation and play, repurposing the image of imperial power into a surreal fable of wonder. The rabbit, at once majestic and mischievous, rules a realm where logic bends and symbols collide: a kingdom built from dreams, stories, and imagination.
Work exhibited and donated in the Arthouse charity auction, an event supporting Outhouse, 2025.
She Who Rebuilds Herself (2025)
Oil on paper 43 x 34 cm
This work portrays a woman in the act of reconstructing herself, her fragmented body illuminated by golden seams that turn rupture into testimony. The lines of repair are not hidden but revealed, asserting resilience and transformation in the face of fracture. A swallow flies next to her, quietly present as a symbol of endurance, migration, and the possibility of renewal. Its presence evokes movement and continuity across generations, while the woman’s serene expression affirms dignity and strength beyond trauma. The work reflects on history, memory, and repair, offering an image of survival where what was broken re-emerges with greater brilliance.
