Geraldine O'NEILL
2005 Joint Merit Award

Geraldine O'Neill paints in oil on linen. She is a "figurative painter working within the still-life genre and tradition".

Her work has already featured in a number of group exhibitions and three solo shows. Her ambition is "to fully investigate and push the boundaries of still-life and 'bodegon' (kitchen-style still life) painting" and ultimately to produce large scale new works for her next solo exhibition.

Funding would enable her to pay for child care to give her breathing space for her art, and to travel in order to study the 16th century artist Joachim Beuckelaer whose paintings are a particular inspiration to her.
