An Ontario-Kansas City collaboration of art by Tuile-Fionnuala and Paul Maloney.

About Tuile-Fionnuala

In a beautiful old limestone church in Kingston Ontario, Tuile’s self-directed and unschooled life informs her drawing, painting and ceramics.

She hand builds functional ceramic work that exudes joy, youthfulness, strong emotions, humour and playfulness. Her narrative work unabashedly tells stories born from her wild imagination.

Although only 11, Tuile has been a working artist for 2 years. This year she will have a solo show at the Dust Evans Gallery in Ottawa, a collaborative show in Kansas City, several group shows at esteemed galleries such as Charlie Cummings in Gainesville, Florida and Clay Akar in Iowa City. The ‘piece de resistance’ will be to do her invitational two month residency with solo exhibition at Lefebvre Et Fils in Paris France in 2022.
