Kieran is a contemporary artist from Portarlington, County Laois, whose emotive pieces are representative of his unique style, values and experiences.

Kieran spent a portion of his twenties searching for fulfillment externally, and when it wasn’t to be found, he resorted to mind-altering chemical substances as a means of escape. But he always found meaning and fulfillment in artistic expression, be it through music or stand up comedy, or through his exploits on canvas. He now believes there is no high comparable to that of satisfying your artistic curiosities.

Niamh Boyce is an award-winning novelist and poet. The Kildare native’s first book, The Herbalist (2013), was an instant success. The Irish Times called it, “The most entertaining yet substantial historical novel since Joseph O’Connor’s Star of the Sea.”
Inside the Wolf (2018), her first collection of verse was met with similar positivity. Nuala O’Connor said, “In these clever, concise poems, Niamh Boyce resurrects the ancestors who gifted her a legacy of words…Boyce has the artist’s unpeeled eye: she dissects fairy tales and reassembles them with colour, menace and wit.”
Niamh Boyce lives with her family in Ballylinan, Co Laois. She is currently working on her third novel, a collection of short fiction and a non-fiction book.
