Artist Biography:

Róisín was born and raised in the Ring Gaeltacht of County Waterford. She graduated from the National College of Art and Design, Dublin in 1988 as a glass designer. Within that time, she developed new light reflection methods in the link between glass and water in sculpting. She has worked in Denmark and Germany and has travelled extensively in Asia and India studying native arts, which has had a profound influence on her work. Currently, she is working from her studio in Ballinskelligs. She is inspired by her natural surroundings, the sea in particular. She utilizes techniques including stratification, acid etching and recompression. A fossilized pattern can be identified in her work as a result of these implemented techniques.
