I have exhibited at various locations on the island of Ireland and internationally, for instance at the Rayburn House Art Gallery in New Zealand (solo show).

My work communicates a journey of colour, texture and energy. Each piece tells a story and bringsthe viewer on a journey of discovery. I have exhibited in many curated competitions, and my workis published in UK and American magazines. Inspired by the natural world, I endeavor to use sustainable materials. I use many mediums, paint, clay, textiles, sewing, felt, and 3D model making.

Zoe-Mae is a multidisciplinary artist, working primarily with textiles and paint. Her work focuses around themes of
sustainability, environmental impact, and other socially impacting issues. Up-cycling is an important element to her
work- using scraps of materials to create a unique artwork and prevent further landfill waste.

My work explores power dynamics through symbolic storytelling, using modelling paste and oil paint on board. I create charged, textured scenes where human and animal figures coexist in uneasy tension. Their interactions reflect cycles of control, vulnerability, and survival, each piece capturing a suspended moment within a broader narrative. The balance of dominance and submission is never fixed, shifting subtly within each composition, inviting viewers to question who holds power and why.
