Path by Magic is a deeply personal and expressive exhibition by Kildare-based artist Joanne Duggan. Through bold textures, vivid colours, and abstract forms, Duggan explores the intricate layers of identity how it shifts, expands, and is shaped by lived experience.

These 19 new works, created with ink, oil, and pastel on canvas, invite viewers into a reflective and meditative space where memory, emotion, and perception converge. Duggan’s approach to painting is influenced by her own experience of neurodivergence, which brings a unique rhythm and depth to her creative process. Her layered compositions offer a visual journey through the complexities of the self, encouraging us to consider the ways identity evolves over time. Each piece is an invitation to slow down, look inward, and connect with something both intimate and universal.

With Path by Magic, Duggan presents her most immersive and introspective body of work to date—one that celebrates difference, embraces emotion, and honours the magic of self-discovery through art.
