Ursula Foley

Ursula Foley is an Irish artist based in Dublin. Her practice focuses mostly on painting but she experiments frequently with different materials such as textiles, wood and glass. Foley saves these materials from spaces where they are no longer wanted or are abandoned altogether, while ensuring a high quality for use within her work. She enjoys a high level of research throughout the creative process and her recent work has focused on Irish history, folklore and language (both Gaeilge and Hiberno-English). Weaving, intertwining and carving into Irish culture to create a space for storytelling and visual art, is the best way to describe her artistic process.
