I am a conceptual artist and photographer from Ballyclare, currently living and working in Belfast, NI. I work as a photographer and as well as a freelance artist specialising in portrait commissions.
I graduated with a First Class Honours in BA (Hons) Photography with Video from Belfast School of Art, UU in July 2018. I received the Dean's award in Photography for my final year video installation which was entitled ‘The Effects of Cognitive Dissonance’. This project highlighted the disconnection felt living between a paradox between reality and digital platforms, and was long listed for the RDS Visual Arts Award. Photographic prints from this series were published in Brush magazine Issue 5 (May, 2018) and RAPSODIA magazine No. 19 (June, 2018).
In October 2018, I was awarded a grant by the National Lottery through the Arts Council of NI for the Individual Artist Programme. My concept is a sculptural/ video installation which juxtaposes LCD screens playing videos inside dollhouses. The subject of the video will show the hypnotic effect of screens in a simulation of a home environment.
I have shown work at group exhibitions notably the Ulster University degree show (2018), Ulster Photo Fair at UU (2018) and Pop Up group exhibition at Duncairn Cultural Arts Centre (2017).
