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.
