A little bit about me...
I’m a freelance photographer, visual artist, and curator based between Kildare and Dublin. I immersed myself into art from a young age, but the camera was always my preferred medium. I hold a First Class Honours bachelors degree in Photography from Technological University Dublin, and I continue to explore and develop my passion through both personal work and professional projects.
My portfolio is diverse and spans portraiture, fashion, weddings, events, corporate, conference and installation photography.
My background and passion for the visual arts, brings a unique artistic and thoughtful quality to my work as I make sure every project is captured with creativity, authenticity and professionalism.
Over the last few years, I’ve had the privilege of working with Dominic Lee at Priory Studios. Now that Dominic has retired, I’m truly grateful to be trusted to carry on bringing the same passion to each project capturing genuine and loving moments.

My artistic practice often explores memory, identity, and the body. I work in layers both literally and conceptually. Photography is my primary medium but I often incorporate other elements such as video, sound, and text.
Through the lens, I create metaphysical landscapes, inviting viewers into intimate spaces that blur the boundaries between 'the internal and external', 'the real and abstract', and 'the personal and universal'.
I’ve exhibited across Ireland in both solo and group exhibitions, with work held in private collections, including the O.P.W State Art Collection. In 2024, I received the Arts, Health & Wellbeing Award and the Executive Coaching Bursary from the Kildare Arts Service. I launched my curatorial career in association with the the Kildare Derby Festival (2024) and continue to curate exhibitions supporting Irish-based artists.
