Méabh Joyce - Artist
Méabh Joyce (b.1995) is an artist from County Donegal, Ireland, currently based between Amsterdam and London.
Her work focuses on traditional printmaking, illustration, painting, and photography, investigating the interplay of color, texture, and form. Méabh translates these elements into bespoke, handcrafted etchings and silkscreen prints, each piece reflecting her commitment to both technical skill and visual innovation.
Méabh received her BA in Fine Art and History from Ulster University, Belfast, in 2019.
In 2020, she was awarded a group exhibition in Queen street gallery Belfast, and has since completed three artist residencies across Europe in Mallorca, Palma and Aga Lab, Amsterdam. Her debut solo exhibition was in De bouput Amsterdam 2023. Her approach is characterised by an affinity for collaboration and creative problem-solving, striving to push the boundaries of traditional printmaking through both experimentation and precision.
In her practice, Méabh balances classical methods with a contemporary sensibility, producing works that explore the material and narrative potentials of printmaking. Through her dedication to craft and thoughtful engagement with each project, she creates work that resonates with depth, texture, and timeless appeal.
