Sinéad Fahey

Sinead Fahey has been a member of the KCAT studio for 16 years. She has shown work internationally, and broadly in Ireland. 

Sinead’s multi-coloured animation-like works in acrylic convey the deep connection and empathy she feels with people and the natural world. Her works often depict friends and colleagues from KCAT, creatures such as birds and fish, and large multi-coloured plants and flowers. Sinead’s highly engaging works exude playfulness and freedom. She takes the time to develop her work slowly over weeks and often months. Her careful approach makes it seem as if each work is minded into existence through a well rehearsed process that has been developed and honed over many years of practice. 

Sinead has a style that is unmistakably hers. Her unique use of shape and colour can be understood as an optimistic celebration of the very idea of having beautiful people and things around us in our lives. In general terms, Sinead’s imagery can be understood to concern love and she shares her work in order to decorate the world with the beauty she sees in it. As a result, as a viewer, Sinead’s work can be as easy to absorb as fresh air.
