About the Artist
Jacqueline M Byrne is an Irish visual artist based on the Dorset coast, UK. Her practice moves across installation, sculpture, film, land-based works, photography and painting, unified by an ongoing exploration of environmental fragility, trace and impermanence.
Working with natural and reclaimed materials — including ash, wood, soil and residue — Byrne creates immersive and site-responsive works that respond directly to landscape. Her practice considers ecological balance, material responsibility and the transient nature of human presence within the natural world.
She completed an MA in Fine Art with the Open College of the Arts (UCA) in 2019. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is published in International Contemporary Artists Books (2015 & 2016).
Byrne is an independent artist and a member of Artwey CIC, Dorset Visual Arts (Salon Collective), Arts Territory Exchange and Visual Artists Ireland.
