ARTIST BIO
Siobhan began her creative studies early with classical piano, violin and vocal while attending music and theatre school in her younger years, and continued studies at BealArt in London, Ontario and Crawford College of Art & Design in Cork, Ireland where she graduated with a BFA in printmaking and mixed media painting. After relocating to and living on Canada’s west coast for a dozen years, continuing to create, exhibit, travel and do artist residencies, she returned to university for the Art and Environment Masters program at Falmouth University in Cornwall UK. She graduated in 2016 with an MFA distinction. An extended two year art residency at Marlborough College in Wiltshire, England followed by a truncated PhD studies at University of Dundee, she then returned to Canada and set up studio on the shores of Lake Huron in SW Ontario, where ongoing research about the connection between environmental art, nature, spirituality and science feeds into her interdisciplinary practice.
Siobhán’s artwork has been exhibited in over seventy solo and group exhibitions in commercial, artist-run and public galleries and is in private and corporate collections in North America, Britain, Europe and Australia. She is the recipient of a Pollock Krasner Foundation fellowship, a City of London Arts Bursary, Ontario Arts Council and BC Arts Council grants, a BC Arts Council Education Grant and most recently an Ontario Arts Council exhibition assistance grant for her solo exhibition ‘In the Garden of Exquisite Unknown’. She has been featured on City TV Vancouver & Calgary, the Vancouver Sun and CBC Radio’s Arts Report. Her most recent artist residency was with the Hugo Burge Foundation at Marchmont Estate, Borderlands Scotland in October/November 2024. Currenty Siobhan is developing new work combining themes of nature, entanglement, music and synesthesia and in autumn of 2025 will be Artist in Residence with the University of Victoria and at the Jeffery Rubinoff Sculpture Park on Hornby Island, British Columbia, Canada.
