Katie Nolan is an emerging visual artist based in West Waterford. She completed TU Dublin’s MA Art & Environment with First Class Honours in 2022, where she explored the West Cork islands through the lens of archipelagic thinking.
In her art practice she aims to create opportunities for the development of reflective expression that can bring humanity’s desensitised relationship to the planet, to a broader aesthetic awareness. Katie has a keen interest in the efficacy of socially engaged art and enjoys generating spaces for participants to explore their creativity.
She has worked as an Arts Tutor over 7 years with extensive facilitation of workshops in the community. As an emerging artist, Katie has exhibited in Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain. She was awarded the Bealtaine Age & Opportunity Emerging Artist’s Bursary Award, the Arts Council Agility Award and the Creating Connections project Award by Creative Ireland/ Cork Co Co.
She is a member of thisOUR and is currently undertaking a deep mapping project alongside artists, Philip Ryan, Basil Al Rawi, Chris Finnegan in partnership with Greywood Arts. Employing transdisciplinary research and developed primarily through co creative processes, her current practice engages with video, sound, installation and textiles.
