Chionaola is, according to Sophie Gorman art critic from the Irish Independent "a seriously hot tip�..you won't be throwing caution to the wind if you invest in a painting by her". A graduate of Crawford College of Art & Design, Sinéad Ni Chionaola has won many important awards and residencies which have enabled her to work and exhibit in Russia, America, Australia, Canada and Europe. She says of her work "�There is an almost sensual quality created by the dense layering of acrylic on canvas�" Her work forms part of major corporate, civic and private collections.
