Colleen McSheffrey

Colleen McSheffrey is an artist based in Derry. She graduated in 2024 with a BA in Fine Art from the Belfast School of Art and has been painting since then. Colleen works primarily in oil paints on canvas or linen. Her work is centred around an archive of found images collected over time. She considers the transformative potential of painting, as a way to elevate seemingly inconsequential moments. Through her work Colleen aims to un-tap a rich array of evocations lying dormant in the overlooked aspects of daily life.
