I am a practising artist and educator with over 15 years of experience working creatively with people of all ages; from 3-year-olds in early years settings to postgraduate students in fine art programmes. I am currently substitute teaching in mainstream primary and special education schools across Sligo.

My not-so-secret agenda is one of Love, justice, beauty, magic, a good laugh, and sensory pleasure. While I use a wide range of media, glass and sound are central to my practice. Glass holds light; sound carries vibration. Both speak the language of the mystical.

Spanning sculpture, installation, language, and music, my work has been exhibited internationally at the Smithsonian, the Corning Museum of Glass, and the Museum of American Glass, and is held in public and private collections worldwide. I also perform and record under the name Cosmic Wetness, presented at IMMA, Smock Alley Theatre, and festivals including All Together Now and Beyond the Pale. I am a co-founder of Queer Shed Sligo and founder of Quearcal Comhrá Shligigh, a monthly Irish language conversation evening for the LGBTQ+ community.

My art workshop facilitation leans towards open-ended, process-led making; work that leaves room for surprise and for each child's own voice to come through. I am especially interested in projects that children feel genuine ownership over.
