Delighted to be screening Worry World at some lovely festivals in 2024.. those laurels are starting to add up! 🍿 💭

Nightswimming is part of the lovely SO Fine Art’s Winter Exhibition 2023/2024.. ✨

Can’t quite believe we got to premiere our short animation Worry World at the 2023 Galway Film Fleadh, and that we won the Oscar-qualifying James Horgan award for Best Animation Short!? 💭

*update - we also won the Audience Prize at the 2023 Newport Beach Film Festival for Best Short Animation! ✨

So happy to be showing this shot of my friend Dom’s teeny new kitten Lucy as part of the lovely SO Fine Art’s 10th anniversary exhibition 🧡

Smiling so big to be taking part in this year’s 2023 RHA summer exhibition and celebrating its 200th anniversary alongside such an amazing group of artists ✨

This was the view from my bedroom window in Ouarzazate for the last few months 🇲🇦 It’s been beautifully printed by Jm at Inspirational Arts and framed by Jake at Picture Bloc 🖼️

The show runs until the end of July, so come see it if you can, and try not to knock over the sculptures with me. We can do this 👊🏽💥🙏🏽

Very proud to be premiering DOLOROSA at the 2023 Dublin International Film Festival… trailer is here :)

A wee piece to promote the premiere of our short film DOLOROSA at the 2023 Dublin International Film Festival, where I talk about my love of Calvin (and Hobbes), Orson Welles, crying at Masterchef, and other essential info… Photo by the legend that is Amelia Stein.

We’re so excited to premiere X Marks the Spot at the 2021 Cork International Film Festival, then on RTÉ… aarrrgghhhh 🏴‍☠️

Really honoured to be showing this at the 2021 RHA exhibition, which opens on September 27th.

This is High Street in Wexford, and reconfirms my love of puddle reflections.. 🌤️

We’re so happy to announce The Overcoat has been acquired by Amazon Prime & discover.film and is now streaming worldwide! 🌍

If you told me this ten years ago, I’d have been (a) over the moon, and (b) it’s going to take TEN YEARS? But it’s been totally worth it, dagnabit..🧥👻❤️

It was a completely terrifying privilege to be series director on 20 shots of Opera, the largest single-event commissioning project in Irish operatic history (yikes). They’re all online now on Irish National Opera's website...

Silly excited to have my first public solo exhibition at the Market Place Gallery in Armagh, being launched by the legend that is Kevin Barry! I’m not crying you’re crying…

Metal Heart is out in Irish cinemas June 28th!

<faints, cries, crosses fingers, repeats>

(update! it’s on Sky Premiere from November 27th :)

So proud that Alicia is in the RHA summer exhibition, which opens today. I’m planning to spend the whole summer standing in front of it + pointing at it really, really distractingly. Come do it with me, it’ll be fun!

It’s been a total privilege to exhibit a series of portraits Celebrating Irish Talent as part of the 2019 Dublin Film Festival. 14 amazing people + my battered old Hasselblad. What could go wrong? Maybe don’t answer that.

So excited to be premiering The Overcoat and Metal Heart at the 2018 Galway Film Fleadh. We'll hopefully be getting them out there more soon and I promise not to go on and on about them and will be totally interested in what you're doing too, okay?

(emma's) METAL 🖤

Cinéireann very kindly included us in their roundup of Irish films so the first image is out... we're grading now so hopefully it's #comingsoon + therefore I am #brickingit

What if Jesus came back? What if he was bricking your car on the Saintfield Road?

*So* honoured to be exhibiting a series of portraits as part of the 2017 Audi Dublin International Film Festival.

Gráinne, the director of the festival, asked me to take some portraits of Irish filmmakers and actors involved in this year's lineup, and I gave myself the rule of black and white film (tri-x 400), found light only, and my Hasselblad... it was scary, but so much fun, and I got to hang out with some truly amazing people.

The exhibition runs in the Powerscourt Townhouse on South William Street, Dublin, from 16th-26th February. Come see if you can!

As if in a dream, working with the incredible Enda Walsh on 'Arlington [a love story]' at Leisureland, Salthill, for the 2016 Galway International Arts Festival, alongside the insanely brilliant Charlie Murphy & Oona Doherty, Landmark Productions, and all Enda's crazily talented team. We is coming to the Abbey Theatre from February 10th-25th, then St Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn in May 2017...

I've got some work in the 2016 RHA exhibition! I'll be standing beside them at all times, shaking hands with everyone passing by, whether they want to or not. Be one of those people!

Have had the most amazing journey acting in Brendan Muldowney and Jamie Hannigan's 'Pilgrimage', shooting in Connemara and beyond...

Our new campaign for Maplin just went live in the UK and Ireland! Featuring a sad, frustrated wifi-user, a slightly disgruntled cat, and a tightrope-balancing dog called Ozzy. You know, usual stuff.

Beyond excited to have this piece included in the 2015 RHA Summer Exhibition. Feel free to poke me. It won't make any difference. 

The Flickr Blog has very kindly done an interview with me about the Hennessy Portrait Prize, where I proceed to faff on and on for a good ten minutes. YOU'RE WELCOME.

Directing 2nd Unit on Rainmark's new ITV production 'The Frankenstein Chronicles' in Belfast has (a) let me hang out with my old friend Ben Ross, who directed 'The Young Poisoner's Handbook', and (b) allowed me to occasionally steal shots of some of the amazing locals who are acting in it... 

i heart these guys. les arcs, december 2014.

Come see my piece in the Solomon Fine Art winter collection! Okay, fine, don't. Be like that.

This was a special day.

Exhibits November 2014-February 2015..

Here be my piece at the 2014 RHA summer exhibition! And there was much rejoicing. 

In a frankly earth-shattering piece of news (to my Mum, mainly), I'm now represented by the ever-so-lovely SO Fine Art Gallery in Dublin...

 Yikes.

'The Stag' has been selected for the 2013 Toronto Film Festival.  

This means we make party. 

It's getting a UK/Ireland release early next year. Time to do a shitload of crunches.

A really special day taking rehearsal shots for Conor McPherson's gorgeous new play 'The Night Alive', which opened at the Donmar Warehouse in June 2013.  

King Lear in the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, Feb-March 2013.

With the amazing Owen Roe as the Fiery Duke, and directed by Selina Cartmell.

So the fool follows after.. .

Completely honoured to have had a piece in the annual RHA exhibition 2012...

Pygmalion, Abbey Theatre, 2011. 

This is what happens when the cast decide to take their own photo.
