Yvonne McGuinness

Yvonne McGuinness (born 12 October 1972) is an Irish visual artist who works in a variety of contexts, including video installation and print. Born in Kilkenny, Ireland and now based in London, her works have been shown in Ireland and the UK, and she holds an MA from the Royal College of Art in London.[1]

A 2004 biography stated, "Recent works have been preoccupied with notions of portrayal of the self and with deception, dealing with the sublimated desire for self-expression of the artist and the tension between revelation and concealment." [2]

McGuinness married her long-time boyfriend Cillian Murphy in 2004, with whom she has two sons, Malachy born in December 2005 and Aran born in July 2007.[3] She is the niece of Fianna Fáil Party politician John J. McGuinness.[4]

She has made several short films, This is between us (2011), Charlie's Place (2012) and Procession (2012).[5]
