Bio

​

Serena Caulfield is an artist who makes paintings. Memories morph into tall tales. Invented imagery invites novel narratives. Transforming old to new, past to present, absence to presence, here to there, she likes to paint quickly and think slowly.

​​

Serena has exhibited widely, mostly in Ireland, where she lives and works beside the sea in Co. Wexford. Recent group shows include Land(e)scapes at Art-Seen, Nicosia, Cyprus; Mythos, with Catherine Hammond Gallery, Cork, Ireland; Winter, Spring and Summer Exhibitions with Solomon Fine Art, Dublin; WIDE OPEN SPACE, at Wexford Co. Council Buildings; BEEP Painting Biennial, Wales; GENERATION2022: New Irish Painting, Butler Gallery, Kilkenny; and Zurich Portrait Prize, at the National Gallery of Ireland and Crawford Art Gallery. Solo exhibitions include Dream Baby Dream, Solomon Fine Art Dublin, (2024); The Remnants and the Ruins, RCC, Letterkenny (2024); Not somewhere else but here at Wexford Arts Centre, (2023) and Convergencesat Ballina Arts Centre (2023). She is currently working towards her first solo exhibition at Art-Seen Projects, Nicosia, Cyprus in Summer 2025.

​

Awards include The Arts Council of Ireland Visual Arts Bursary, Platform 31 Artist Award, an Artlinks Visual Arts Bursary and an Arts Council Agility Award. Serena has an MA in Fine Art from NUA, Norwich, UK (2009) and a BA from Gorey School of Art and Wexford Campus School of Art and Design, IT Carlow.
