About
Zoë Harley is a visual artist based in Cork City, Ireland. She graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from MTU Crawford College of Art & Design in 2024. Working primarily in oil painting alongside textiles, photography, drawing and installation, her practice draws on autobiography, bodily trace and personal material. Her work explores femininity, sexuality, intimacy, melancholy, memory and religious imagery, often combining painted figures with stitching, text, found objects and materials such as hair, makeup and fabric.
