Michelle Boyle is an established artist and occasional curator with a rural studio in Cavan Ireland and a developing base in India. She commits to deep observation and intuitive art making on the theme of identity and place in a practice described as “sensitive, powerful and poetic”. Her paintings are in many notable public collections over her 20 year practice.

In the past 5 years she has been experimenting across artistic processes to include video, installation and performance in waterside locations in the landscape. This expansion in her art making comes directly from the immersive experience of year round swimming in the lake beside her studio in Ireland. ‘Because of this total immersion, you experience water first hand and see up close the many pressures it is under from our actions. I contribute and learn from cross disciplinary collaborations on the human – water relationship and work with the agency of water itself in my art practice’

The artist is currently researching a body of new work ‘Kala Pani – Blackwater’ between Ireland and India.
