I am a recent graduate from SETU Waterford where I studied Visual Communication. I'm a dedicated photographer and graphic designer, with a singular focus on my projects. For my photography, each image serves as a piece of a larger narrative, capturing pivotal moments that come together to tell stories. Photography has always been my creative outlet, a craft that I am continuously developing and striving to perfect. The processes I've developed in photography transfer to my graphic design work. Prioritising the work and the process.

Originally from Bucks Co. PA USA, now living in Co. Tipperary. Studied Foundation Fine Art at Tyler School of Art, Temple University. I am a largely self taught visual artist/painter. Working with oils I paint landscapes and still lifes in the subject of identity and the human condition.  

Rita Marcalo is the Artistic Director of Instant Dissidence, a dance company based in Cloughjordan Ecovillage. 

I draw inspiration from the Art and Photography of the early decades of the twentieth century, particularly the German and Russian. Many of whom were killed in WW1. 
An era that existed in the hinterland, drawing from their past but hinting towards options, some of which were developed in the US throughout the 20th century by the likes of Georgia O'Keefe and Alfred Stiglitz. And in Ireland by Mainie Jellett. They lived through hell, or died in it.

Ciara Malone is a multi-disciplinary artist for over 25 years and has had numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally. Ciara grew up in Cahir Co. Tipperary. Living over a pub growing up , her life seemed like a movie set, full of characters and stories which has formed her to be a passionate visual storyteller, using her camera to bring focus to individuals and spaces, observing and teasing out meaning like she once did as a child.

My practice draws on the exploration of the human body and for purposes of economy and practicality I utilise my own body in the production of my work. The overarching themes of bodily autonomy, materiality, body politics and identity reoccur in various forms and physical expression. My interest in biomorphic structures stem from childhood experiences exploring my rural surroundings which shaped and developed my understanding and respect of a natural landscape analogous to the human body.
