Contemporary abstract painter and teacher Nessa's Spanish heritage has a strong influence on her creative endeavour. Her work is an exploration of complex patterns emerging from textured worn surfaces, a distillation of what calls her to dive in
deeper.

Inspired by ancient geometric patterns of Andalucian culture and the vibrant light & colours of Morocco, Nessa’s paintings invite you on a journey back in time to the Al Andalus & Almohad kingdoms of the 12th century, to experience a passion for the alchemy of sacred geometry in its infinite beauty.

"Humans are pattern seekers. We have been making our mark since the dawn of time. Perhaps it gives us a sense of who we are, an identity in a vast universe, grounding us in a time of rapid and constant change".

Having worked in the IT industry for many years, Nessa returned to college as a mature student in 2015 to study Visual Art at the National College of Art and Design, Ireland. She continued her art studies, having completed the Creative Visionary Programme Masterclass with Nicholas Wilton in 2019. Nessa’s experience working with Sculptural Fibre art mediums continues to inform the many-layered surfaces of her paintings. She has exhibited in group and solo shows in Ireland, Finland, Spain, Sao Paulo, and Morocco.
