Artist Biography
I am a photographic artist living beneath the Galtee mountains in the Glen of Aherlow. My images explore the social, economic and agricultural history of human settlement in the Galtee mountains, and strive to generate introspection on our relationship with natural landscapes. I hold an MA in Photography from London Metropolitan University.
Artistic Practice
Mollie Anna King studied for her B.A at Crawford College of Art & Design before completing an M.F.A in Sculpture at the Slade School of Art. King has had solo shows in The Museum of Hidden History, South Tipperary Arts Centre, The National Sculpture Factory, CANAL Gallery and AMP Gallery, London. She has been a recipient of The Next Generation Artists Award, the Barto dos Santos Memorial Award, the Land Securities Award and Studio Residency in Bow Arts, London.
Cleary engages primarily in a sculptural-based practice that embraces common materials and textiles. Sustainability is an important aspect of her practice; deconstructing found objects and upcycling them into curious assemblages has become the backbone of her artistic style.

Joanna Ryan-Purcell is a writer, artist, performer and theatremaker. She aims to bring her three mediums of writing, painting and performing together to create her own unique style of theatre.
Her current project is a poetic performance called "I Flew as a Swan" written by Joanna and directed by Australian directors Tony Kishawi and Mary Eggleston.
This performance is based on the Children of Lir myth adopted by Joanna. Joanna is also the founder and artistic director of the Blue Door Sessions. This project is currently postponed until further notice.
Aoife Barrett is a multi-disciplinary artist and printmaker with a career that spans artistic creation, education, community engagement and entrepreneurship. She holds a BA (Honours) in Fine Art: Printmaking from the Limerick School of Art and Design and an MA in Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking from the University of the West of England.
I am a multi-media artist making sculptures, basketry and arts projects for a variety of settings. I work to commission and with community groups, creating site-specific projects and artworks. My Public Art Sculptures are well-known.
I have extensive experience in teaching craft skills and working creatively with people of all ages. I have an open studio and gallery in a quiet rural location where I teach classes and run cultural events.
I have worked as an artist since obtaining an honours degree in art and design, at the London Guildhall University in 1996.
I strive to make art understandable and accessible to everyone. I often bring “community” along in the creative journey for some of the artworks, thus reinforcing their understanding and ownership.
In my work I like to combine different materials, utilising their unique inherent qualities and also honouring the craft skill for each.
Brigid Teehan’s art practice involves working with people, places and situations where she is operating at various levels of creative direction, organisational structure; curation and production.
Her strategy has been to test how an artist might exist in spheres of life outside the art world such as businesses, workplaces, schools, mental health settings, communities of interest, and empty buildings. At the same time attempting to bring that work back to the contemporary art context.
