Mary P O’Connor
Mary P O’Connor is an artist and Buddhist nun originally from Cork, known for her thought-provoking mixed-media art that challenges the romanticized perceptions of her hometown's river, the Lee. Her piece 'The Legacy of the Merchant Princes' at the 'River Run' exhibition reflects on the historical exploitation tied to the city's merchant class and the darker aspects of Cork's past, symbolized through a striking golden skull. O’Connor has a rich artistic history, having won the Guinness Peat Aviation Award twice in the 1980s and has been a controversial figure in Cork's art scene since she faced opposition from the church for her work as a student.
