tewart is a mixed media painter. His artwork is semi abstract; based on drawn studies but organically developed, focussing on the atmosphere and mood of the piece, rather than the representational form. His highly textured mixed media paintings suggest wide expanses of bog or moor, solitary trees or natural forms with vivid, intricate details submerged under glazes of earthy colours.

Marco Di Sante was born in 1985 in Sora (Italy). He moved to Ireland’s capital in 2010 and has been living in Kilkenny since 2013. He graduated with a BA (Hons) in Visual Art from SETU Waterford and his final work was long-listed for RDS Visual Art Awards 2022 and selected for GOMA Graduate Award Exhibition 2022.

He recently completed a Master in Fine Art at National College of Art & Design in Dublin. His work is multi-disciplinary and explores the contemporary relationship between nature and humans. The research is based on the understanding of what nature is and what our role is in it. Ancient and modern cultures inform Marco’s practice surrounded by organic and artificial elements. The response is often shaped by sculptural abstract representations of the happenings related to the living organisms cultivated in the studio. The idea of space and its use is structured in his method of work in order to create installations combining traditional and non-traditional disciplines and techniques. Marco’s passion for photography helps to document the process and create photographic works.

Mary Doyle Burke is a multi disciplinary artist from County Kilkenny who has a deep love of nature and the land.
She works with natural materials gathered from the land to create sculptural work and paintings,  sometimes hybrid works. Gathering pigments from all elements of the land, she creates ink for painting organically and creates paper from plants. The research element of her work is a study of a comparison between organic and synthetic materials. While installing her artworks in the indoor studio or  with the outdoor land art, the consideration of space is paramount to her. The other is the use of materials, and she loves to gets lost in the handleability. The ancestors, the stories left in the land and their ancient culture sings the song of her art.
Currently she is funded by the Arts Council of Ireland and Kilkenny Arts Office for her research and creation of works in response to the Irish Boglands.
