Amira McDonagh is a multidisciplinary artist from Northern Ireland. She holds a BA(Hons) in Fine Art from Cardiff Metropolitan University (2011) and her practice spans painting, drawing, film, installation, and written form.

Her work explores the emotional and physical realities of living with chronic pain. Conceptually underpinned by Lois Tonkin’s grief theories, her practice is a cathartic exploration of embodiment, confronting the viewer with the weight of chronic illness, exposing the fragility of the human body and the striking juxtaposition of anguish and beauty within an injured form.

She will present a solo show, a culmination of exploring this, in August 2027 at PS2 Gallery in Belfast.
