Nature, landscape and geology are Monica’s primary sources of inspiration, informed by her interests in local and international travel and hill walking. With a background in multidisciplinary art, her practice presently focuses primarily on ceramics while drawing on experience across a range of media. She explores the relationship between material, time and process, using her distinctive ceramic ‘fabric’ to mirror, reimagine and accelerate the unfathomable timescales and transformative processes of geological formation.
Visual Art (including sculpture, print, painting, photography, ceramics etc)
I am an artist that works in many mediums, including porcelain, paper and natural materials and have experience in photography, curating and stage design. 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).
I am a visual artist based in rural Tipperary.
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.
I am an experienced facilitator of art and craft groups for Tipperary ETB.
Nurturing a strong interest in creativity since childhood, I grew a love for design/ textiles and all forms of art.
Growing up in the bush in N.S.W Australia sparked the beginning of my artistic and textiles journey.
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.

Vi Bell is an emerging mixed-media artist based in Tipperary. A graduate of the Limerick School of Art and Design, she brings a thoughtful and immersive approach to materials, exploring their tactile and visual qualities as well as their emotional resonance.
