Caitlyn Rooke is an artist based in Galway, Ireland. Traces of realism, expressionism, and graphic realism appear in her work through playful re-imaginings of Ireland’s west coast.. While influenced by the aesthetics of Paul Henry’s monumental clouds and landscapes, her work pulls from the shared psychological states underpinning mysticism, technology, and artmaking. The idiosyncratic deconstruction of the self found within her work arose from the recognized need to lose oneself in order to construct shared experiences of meaning and belonging.
Her work is in the Office of Public Works State Art Collection of Ireland as well as several private collections in the US, UK, and Ireland.
