Niamh Porter is a visual artist based in Cork, Ireland. Her ongoing body of work, With time and straw, the medlars ripen, is a study of Modernist interiors and objects designed by women. She is interested in the sensory relationship between painting and architecture, and the desire for homes like these.
Works from this series have been exhibited in The Tyranny of Ambition at the Highlanes Gallery, Hennessy Craig Award Exhibition at the RHA, 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 Exhibition 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 Masters of Education in Art & Design in 2023. She was recently an Artist-in-Residence at Ormston House, Co-Director of spacecraft Studios, and member of Wickham Street Studios, Limerick. Her work is represented in the Drogheda Municipal Art Collection, The Office of Public Works, and a number of private collections in Ireland.
