Having started my practice as a painter, in the mid 2000s I began to work with a diverse range of media. Writing mixed with image and the juxtaposition of the two have worked their way into my art practice. Similarly, the  positioning of embroidery, so delicate and pretty, with my ceramics, so raw and hand-built,  is the area I wish to pursue in my art practice. I have been a member of Backwater Artists Network, Backwater’s group of home-studio artists since its inauguration in 2019. In Autumn 2022, I had a solo show in Studio 12, Backwater Artists Group, Cork; an installation of impossibly contorted ceramic horses, eighteen Beckett ‘Chess Piece’ drawings and a piece of writing on the wall. The ‘Chess Piece’ drawings are absurd in that all of the chess pieces depicted are horses, a tribute to the spirit of Beckett, in whose novel Murphy, the hero plays chess in a lunatic asylum.
