I have always been drawn to writing. As a young child I included text with my drawings, creating self-contained narratives. More recently I have used journaling as a space to reflect, to process my thoughts and emotions, expand my creative thinking. My writing is increasingly shaping my visual arts practice and influencing the direction of my performance work. 

I’m grateful to the Irish Writer’s Centre for offering rich and inspiring courses with Kerri Ni Dochartaigh and Roe McDermott. Also to Hannah Sullivan and Carol Laidler for our collaborations that have helped support and nurture my writing practice. Here are just a few examples of pieces I’ve written in the past year.
