MARY FARL POWERS

Mary Farl Powers (1948-1992) was one of the most important printmakers in Ireland in the second half of the twentieth century. Born in Minnesota, USA, her early years were spent moving between the US and Ireland before she finally made Dublin her home. Powers studied at the Dun Laoghaire School of Art and the NCAD, Dublin. She was active at the Belfast Print Workshop during the 1980’s. Her rapid mastery of various printmaking techniques allowed her to develop an extensive body of print work which also incorporated cast paper and paper sculpture.
