In today’s exclusive interview for LOVEARTBUYART, Mary Stevens speaks to artist Michelle McKeown about her paintings ‘Buffa Regina‘ and ‘Acephale‘ which feature in the exhibition and explores her creative practice. Michelle McKeown is a practising artist based in Belfast currently undertaking doctoral research in painting and feminist theory at Ulster University. Her recent practice operates at the intersection of painting and digital printing technologies.
