Lucia Cunningham

Academic, Artist, Student

Birmingham City University

I have been a practising and community artist for over 20 years - exhibiting and selling my work nationally and internationally as well as designing and delivering community art projects for galleries/museums, charities and private organisations. In that time I retrained as a teacher and became Head of Fine Art at a sixth form college in the UK. I recently left teaching to concentrate on my art practice. I am currently a full-time student in the second year of my PhD specialising in drawing at Birmingham Institute for Creative Arts, Birmingham City University, UK. My art practice explores drawing through trace made by human and non-human objects. Walking informs my drawing practice providing an opportunity to observe and engage with the world around me. Drawing is highlighted as a process of study, a way of paying attention, affecting the way I see and think that extends to a concern for objects that do not involve them being captured by likeness or representation. The research takes the standpoint that one of the ways in which objects matter is through their encounters with each other and with us.

Noelle Noonan’s work traverses the boundaries between traditional printmaking and new technologies in a progressively experimental manner. Recently she has been collaborating with fellow artist Catherine Hehir using a number of different media but primarily print. The process of multiplicity in printmaking is strongly evident in the work presenting opportunities to develop expanded print forms. Noelle lectures on the BA Programme in Print and Contemporary Practice at Limerick School of Art and Design, Ireland .

Catherine Hehir

Academic, Artist

MTU Crawford college of Art and Design

As a practicing artist and fine art lecturer with a primary focus on print media I wish to explore the relationships between print and emergent technologies – and how these relationships impact on collaborative and interdisciplinary practices. My practice has included the development of several forms of collaborative endeavour, such as a series of large scale durational and ephemeral projects with fellow Artist Noelle Noonan. (as Hehir & Noonan), a founder member and board member of Cork Printmakers and as a co-initiator of an international collective project titled State of Print – that questions the structures and mechanisms of state in relation to print. These collaborations have led to print projects performances and events, to many awards and funding from the Irish Arts council and Culture Ireland, enabling to attend and contribute to many international print conferences and symposia such as the IMPACT 10, Spain, 2018, IMPACT 8, China, 2015, IMPACT 9 ,Dundee, 2013, The SNAP , Print conference Bentlag, Germany in 2006 and the First Edition Print Conference in Cork in 2017. Since my appointment at MTU CCAD , I have become a pivotal and influential member of core teaching staff and I am responsible for managing the flagship BA(HONS) Fine Art Degree final year 4 program. Also as a past graduate from at CCAD, following on from this I attended the Limerick School of Art & Design where I graduated with a Higher Diploma with Distinction. Followed on from this with postgraduate study at the University of Ulster Graduating in 2002 with Postgraduate Diploma with distinction in 2002 and in 2004 I was awarded a Masters of Art also with distinction. During my time at the University of Ulster I was also awarded a prestigious scholarly bursary to attend /study at University of Fine Art Zhejiang where I carried out extensive research in traditional and non traditional print making processes and also taught classes with the Fine art /printmaking students on their undergraduate fine art and post graduate programs.

EBriel Studio

Elizabeth Briel was born in California. She received a BFA in Painting from the University of Minnesota, and has lived and worked over a decade in Greater China. Her prints, paintings, and installations deal with the sensation of belonging nowhere yet being equally (un)comfortable anywhere. They begin with materials imbued with meaning—papers devastated by a typhoon or made of military uniforms, paints of bone and lead—and frequently incorporate architectural elements. She has exhibited in four continents, and works as artist-in-residence with the Yew Chung Education Foundation in Hong Kong. Her public studio is located in Hong Kong's Creative Arts Centre, #6-15.
