I am an artist and an international canoe slalom athlete for Ireland. Since I was 14 years old, I have balanced being a full-time student and athlete. My sport has allowed me to travel all over the world, seeing many places, experiencing different cultures and meeting new people in sport from around the world. I use sporting events happening around the world as inspiration for each individual art piece. The intention is to bring a sense of connection to the viewer by using current events, giving my own personal response to each event by having a unique understanding and perspective from being an Athlete and Artist. I choose to do one artwork a day in pointillism to replicate my training regime. The method of pointillism has a lot of similarities to sport. Pointillism makes the viewer stop, look, and experience the work by observing the small details of the dots in each figure. Some day I hope to work with a sports team and create mix media portraits of each athlete on the team.
