My visual art practice led me to the UCD School of Nursing and Midwifery where I initiated an interdisciplinary project. I am currently on a team with Dr. Maria Healy (UCD) and Teresa McCreery (Domino Midwifes, Holles Street). Together we are working on the research initiative: An interpretive phenomenological study: Illuminating childbirth experiences of women attending a midwife-led service via visual art works. Insights from this research will highlight women’s lived experiences of childbirth via visual artworks and academic publications.  

What kinds of knowledge can an artwork produce in this space? Can the artwork be used in education practice? Will it be useful?
