Poet

Poetry is a quiet thread that runs through Deirdre’s creative life. Her writing—like her art—is shaped by landscape, memory, and solitude. In 2016, she published her first collection, The Chaos Within.

Poems often sit alongside her visual work, deepening its resonance and reflecting on the same themes in another voice.

“I see poetry and painting as parallel forms of reflection—each lending depth and silence to the other.”

Her poetry has been published nationally and internationally in many journals including Crannog, The creel, Electric Acorn and Haiku Harvest. Her first collection ‘The chaos within’ was published in 2016.
