About
Niamh Porter (b.1994) is an emerging artist based in Limerick, Ireland. Her ongoing body of work, With time and straw, the medlars ripen, is a study of Modernist architecture, interiors, and objects designed by women - the sensory relationship between painting and architecture, and the desire we feel when we imagine ourselves in homes like these.
Works from this series have been exhibited in the Hennessy Craig Award Exhibition at the RHA, Dublin, Juxtapose Art Fair, Aarhus, with Ormston House, and State of Cling, Arnhem, with Syzygy. Niamh has recently been shortlisted for the RCSI Award in association with the Irish Times at the 193rd RHA Annual and the Hennessy Craig Award for a second time.
Niamh graduated with a BA in Fine Art, Painting, from Limerick School of Art and Design in 2016, and a Professional Master of Education in Art & Design in 2023. She was recently an Artist-in-Residence at Ormston House, Co-Director of spacecraft Studios, and is a recent member of Wickham Street Studios, Limerick.
