Lelia Ní Chathmhaoil

Artist Biography:

Leila’s work as an artist reflects where she lives in Cois Fharraige, by the sea, in south Connemara. Her art explores a sense of place, of home, of ecosystems and challenges the way we see materials and also the way in which work is presented. The materials she comes upon in her environment means that the work she undertakes is of that place both materially and aesthetically. Being directed in this way means the work made is very much of the moment. She enjoys the randomness and possibilities these materials present...be they organic or found wonders.
