Biography:
I was born in Donegal, Ireland in 1953. I studied painting at the College of Art in Belfast in the early seventies and later moved to London. Since leaving Belfast I have travelled extensively and this invigorates and informs my work as an artist both in terms of colour and form. I have had one person shows at the Arts Council Gallery (Belfast 1982/1993), Riverrun Gallery (Dublin 1995), London Print Workshop (1995) and the Dyehouse Gallery (Waterford 1996). I am represented by the Fenderesky Gallery in Belfast and have shown there regularly since 1980. In 1993 I completed an MA at Chelsea College of Art and in 1997 I completed an MSc in the Psychodynamics of Human Development at Birkbeck University and British Association of Psychotherapy. Following this I trained and qualified as a Jungian Analytic Psychologist at the British Association of Psychotherapy.
On completing my training, I now work in private practice in London and incorporate both disciplines into my working week. I find there are similarities between the two in that both practices require a journey into uncharted territory. Psychoanalysis excites me because it offers a defined safe space in which to re-imagine. Jungian analysis in particular attracted me as it seemed to emphasize the importance of tuning into imaginal space and using one’s own dreams as a compass in orientating oneself through one’s own emotional, sometimes turbulent waters. It is this processing of the dream that binds together psychoanalysis and art as congruent activities.
