Kathleen Moroney was born in New York and educated in the US and Ireland, completing an MA in ceramics at the College of Art and Design, Limerick, Ireland in 1998.

After graduating she returned to live in the US for eight years, where she has taken part in numerous art residencies, exhibitions and public art projects. Over the last two years she has focused on site specific installations that reflect on the history and architecture of a space and the gradual passage of time.

Her work has recently been purchased by the National Museum in Dublin for their permanent collection.

Kathleen is living in Co. Clare, Ireland since 2006, and lectures at Dun Laoghaire College of Art (IADT) in Dublin.
