About

Aoife Fia Valley is an Irish artist who explores organic life... from petals to stars; raindrops to hands; fungi to rock formations. Grounded in traditional plant-fibre papermaking and colouring with earth pigments, she creates archival biodegradable paintings, sculpture, and installation.

Sensitivity to subtle presence leads the artist's meditations on embodiment, regeneration, freedom, and joy. The limits she sets by using only body-friendly materials pools intimacy and simplicity of form.

Born in 1976 in Northern Ireland, she studied Fine Art for five years in England and Dublin and is now a homesteader on the West Coast of Ireland.
