My name is Eimear Kinsella. I am an artist and a bio-imagineer.
I am an instructor of Foundation Art and Design at Vancouver Film School.
Currently undergoing a PhD in Visual Culture at the University of Aberdeen. My research explores biological art at the intersection between art and science, fact and fiction, nature and culture.
Bachelor of Design Textiles Art and Artefact degree from National College of Art and Design, Ireland.
Growing up on a farm in the South of Ireland, I enjoy creating with every day non-living and living materials, always happy to get my hands dirty. My work takes the form of fine-art, videography, illustration, and narrative installation art.
