Joanne Behan

Joanne Behan is a sculptor based in Clones Art Studio in County Monaghan. Her work is predominantly bronze figurative. She graduated
with a BA in sculpture from Crawford College of Art in 1997. She enjoys the plasticity of working in clay and wax, creating figures that are caught in a moment and designed for a particular space. Joanne loves to fine tune her observational skills with life drawing and modelling figures and 3D portraits directly from a life model. In her fragmented torso series, she experiments with form, shape and negative spaces which are landscape like in appearance. She explores a variety of mediums in her work such as bronze, ceramics and glass. Most of her artworks are one off pieces or unique editions. Joanne exhibits her smaller sculptures and
the larger pieces are commissioned based. Her work is in private and public collections
