Niamh Birch (1997) was raised in North Devon, England with home connections to West Cork, Ireland. She currently works from her studio in East London after completing a BA in Contemporary Arts Practice at Bath Spa University in 2019.

Working from a combination of memory, drawings and photographs, I depict details and objects from
everyday commonalities that are often overlooked, whilst continuously observing beauty within the
compositions and patterns I surround myself in. Working primarily in oil based materials and collage
on canvas and paper, these subjects are illustrated in vibrant and rich colour compositions and thick
textures. Aspects of my life in London weave in and out of my paintings, whilst also engaging with my love for warmer climates and alfresco dining. Juxtaposed by harsh black outlines are cheerful and humorous elements, allowing the work to feel precious, yet expressive.
