Description
About artist: Kathrine Geoghegan is a visual artist living and working in Straffan, County Kildare. Conservation, and the preservation of wild places is at the centre of Kathrine’s practice. With a particular interest in peatlands, she wishes to raise awareness and increase knowledge of the importance of different habitats through her paintings of botanical forms. She describes native plants in their natural habitat, those plants that some might call weeds, so important for biodiversity. Kathrine has had 8 solo exhibitions. Her work has been acquired by the OPW for the State Collections, and her paintings feature in corporate and private collections.
About artwork: Walking the North Bull Island in Dublin Bay, I came across many wild plants in this unique biosphere of different habitats. Some fragile and rare, and others like Valerian, complete opportunists. Growing on the grassland dunes, this vibrant and beautiful garden escape has established itself in this wild habitat.
