Fiona Boniwell is a visual artist based in Kinsale, Cork. Her art practice centres on drawing as a means of expression and investigation. Equally comfortable working large or small, in digital or traditional media, her work is characterised by dynamic mark-making, and high-contrast, expressive imagery.

Fiona has been practising martial arts in tandem with her visual art practice over the past 15 years. She brought these parts of her life together, exploring and documenting her evolving relationship with movement and her physical self through drawing. This work will be exhibited in The Lord Mayor’s Pavilion in May 2025. This residency will offer an opportunity to further hone this work and invite the public in to see its development.
