BA (hons) Fine Art with Psychology…

……combines a solid foundation in studio-based Fine Art practice with an integrated programme of psychology study. It approaches questions of psychology from the perspective of art making, interpretation and appreciation, an approach supported and underpinned by a range of practical and theoretical psychology modules. The focus of Fine Art with Psychology is the development of a unique, personal arts practice that explores the value of art for the health and wellbeing of individuals and society at large.

Balance

By cropping closely and eliminating context, my image encourages a detached, contemplative viewing experience. The dancer’s body is no longer just a moving figure and cannot be identified, but it has now become a carefully constructed form that is controlled by balance, tension, and precision.

Perfection

My practice focuses on making pencil drawings based on photographs that I have taken of dancers. This work grows from my ongoing fascination with dance as a whole, as well as movement and the way the body portrays emotion and tension without words.

Ram Girl

Ram Girl is a repeating character, inspired by folk traditions, she is a personification of the all encompassing nature of depression for an individual. A sculpture created to guide during dark periods in order to find the end.

Tír na nÓg

Tír na nÓg, a setting in Irish folklore, depicted as a supernatural realm that holds deities; Ram Girl explores this kingdom in her attempt to leave this earthly plane. All work is for sale, please enquire via email.

Consume the noise

Where you sit down on the evenings to unwind and feed on the useless noise you refuse to consume.

F$ck Your Ego

We bare our teeth at the machines in defiance and scream what the headlines won’t print. A riot of colour against a world of rules.

Heels on the hood

A short respite from the demands of ranch life.

Bull at his Back

A cowboy’s view of the rodeo.

A View of the Unseen

Each ceramic vessel has an emotion concentrated into the making, alongside a hand movement that represents the action I take towards having these feelings, creating an artistic language between the artist and the viewer as they understand the artist’s feelings at the time of making.

Suffocation

The feeling of suffocation and burden of responsibilities is an emotion widely felt. These feelings don’t have a physical presence; therefore each container becomes an embodiment of the artist’s emotions and is able to be interpreted by others.

Held in Transition

This work is a snapshot taken from a video piece that explores embodied movement within coastal environments. Through physical gesture, the body becomes both tool and subject, creating temporary traces shaped by material, time, and environmental conditions.

Imprint of Presence

This piece explores touch through a clay formed from sand and seawater. The hands press and shape the material, creating traces of movement that emphasise sensory experience, transformation, and the connection between body and coastal environment.
