Aileen works from her studio at Raleigh Quarter, Youghal, Co. Cork. Her practice is multidisciplinary; currently focusing on illustration, writing and animation. She lets the medium/material evolve to fit her message, as themes in her work are often quite playful, light and naive in style.
Aileen holds an honours degree in Design Communications from MTU/Crawford College of Art and Design and more recently, she studied at the Cork College of FET, Douglas St Campus in Animation.
In 2022, Aileen was one of the six fellows selected for a fully–funded Raising Voices Fellowship, funded by Children’s Books Ireland, allowing me to write and illustrate my picture book.
More recently, her work was screened at the Animation Dingle Festival in 2024.
