Anna Marie Savage is an award-winning abstract artist based in Omeath, Co. Louth. She is a Fine Art graduate of the University of Ulster, where she received a First-Class Honours Degree in 2009. She has exhibited widely throughout Ireland and the UK and has been the recipient of numerous awards and bursaries.
Her latest body of work, Uisce Salach and Dríodar, explore the devastating effects of the illicit fuel industry and the dumping of its byproducts on local ecosystems. Through her meticulous collection and analysis of polluted water samples from the River Fane, Co. Louth Savage brings a visual language to these environmental crises, inspiring awareness and action. Savage’s collaboration with Leeds University on this project, which also spans the Mexican border, marks an international dimension to her inquiry into environmental degradation. Through Uisce Salach and Dríodar, she uses art to bridge science, ecology, and activism.
“I feel very privileged and proud to show this work at An Chultúrlann. As someone who loves and believes in the Irish language, exhibiting in a space that celebrates our culture and heritage feels incredibly fitting. These paintings are rooted in the land and water of this island—this is where they belong.” – Anna Marie Savage
