A Curator and Art Historian with an interest in place and ecological thinking.

I see my curating as a situated practice, meaning that exhibitions and projects are developed through ongoing dialogue with artists, place-based research and responsiveness to local cultural and environmental contexts. A significant part of my work is focused on supporting artists who engage environmental and ecological themes, helping them bring ambitious ideas into the world.

At the heart of what I do is a belief in creating meaningful spaces where audiences, artists and collaborators can explore, discuss and unpack these themes together. Robin Wall Kimmerer asks, "how are we going to fall in love with the world if we don't pick berries?" How can we care about, or even connect with, what we don’t know about in the first place? I see my curatorial lens as a way of connecting people back to the natural world, that modern ways of living so often pull us away from.

Growing up in the Dublin mountains, I developed a deep affinity for the world around me. The mountains and forests, and the flora and fauna that inhabited them felt like my playground. Living in Dublin and spending a lot of time in Co. Down where my grandparents lived, meant I was never too far from the sea. My curiosity for the world is part of what drives me and my work, and led me to study expansive disciplines such as art, philosophy and the environment.

With almost 10 years experience working across art and cultural institutions in Ireland, I have curated more than 20 environmental and place-based exhibitions and projects, commissioned artwork, organised events and written about environmental art, always with an eye toward building meaningful collaborations.
