Siobhán Collins is a Cork-based visual artist and painter whose career took off in 2019 when she turned professional. With an interdisciplinary background – including studies in fashion, a PhD in English from UCC, and a diploma in Botanical Art – she brings a rich perspective to her art. Collins works primarily in watercolour and ink, creating expressive paintings of plant life and people that emphasize fluidity, emotion, and the fragility of her subjects. Her work has been featured in regional exhibitions in Cork and beyond, and she advocates for art as a form of healing and self-expression.
