Background

I have an MFA from Winchester School of Art in Barcelona and a studio practice that frequently seeps into my education practice, for example through the ’Virtually There’ project with Kids Own. My Early Years expertise has developed from a ten year collaboration with Woodland Park Preschool in Westport as their voluntary atelierista, where we have worked together on documentation, exhibitions, education programs and play installations. I also deliver the Creative Arts for Childcare module for the ETB and am lead artist for Mayo in the AIE artist/ teacher partnership initiative. I am also working on my PhD project through the School of Education at NCAD, my project has an Early Years focus (Supervisors Prof. Dervil Jordan, Dr. Helen MacAllister & Dr. Caroline Madden). I have been awarded an Irish Research Council Scholarship for my PhD project.
