Who is maxi?

(Possibly not maxi)

I am a Dublin born and bred visual artist living in the heart of the city.

For over 35 years I have been creating work that reflects the city’s shifting character through photography, digital composition, and mixed media. I draw inspiration from Dublin’s unique personality, its gritty architecture, its humour, and the contradictions of everyday life. I try to reimagine familiar scenes with bold colour, architectural form, and emotional clarity. I work closely with the team in the JamArt Factory in town and they have been amazing supporters of my practice over the past 10 years.

A recent highlight for me was being selected by the Art Riddler for their major exhibition, where around 100 pieces were chosen from thousands of submissions. Being included felt incredibly meaningful on both a creative and personal level, and as a strong advocate for mental health I was honoured to be part of a show that resonated so deeply with that theme.

My current work includes limited edition canvas prints produced in collaboration with The Copper House Gallery in Dublin 8, featuring subjects such as the Central Bank, The Liberties, and the Guinness Brewery. Each piece aims to capture a balance of nostalgia and modernity, celebrating the overlooked moments that define the city’s visual rhythm.

I have collaborated with various artists over the years, most recently Niall Staines, whose work has been featured in galleries all over the world.
