ABOUT

Aoife Fia Valley is an Irish artist exploring the relationship between matter and spirit. Grounded in traditional plant-fibre papermaking and colouring with natural pigments, she creates archival biodegradable paintings, sculpture, and installation.

Sensitivity to presence is central to the artist's meditations on embodiment, regeneration, freedom, and joy. The limits set by using only body-friendly materials, pools intimacy and simplicity of palette and form, while honouring the sacred in creation.

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.
