Profile

I am an illustrator based in Dublin, creating expressive ink-based work that begins on paper and expands across print, publishing, and textiles. Everything in my practice starts with analogue drawing. I love the energy and movement of ink and brush, using line as a way to explore form, texture, and narrative. I work across commercial, cultural, and self-initiated projects, often developed through artist residencies. I hold a BA in Visual Communications, an MA in Arts Education, and an MA in Illustration, bringing a multidisciplinary approach to each project, combining hand drawing, printmaking, and digital collage to create warm, textured illustrations. Rooted in collaboration, play, and process, my intention is always to bring something personal and considered to every project. I am especially interested in publishing, heritage, and cultural work where I can bring stories to life. I work with a wide range of clients, from publishers and cultural institutions to local councils. I also lecture in Illustration and Drawing. The heart of my practice is creativity, community, and connection—the joy of making good work together.
