Penny Stuart is an Irish visual artist whose practice explores life drawing, literature and translation.
This dual language - English, Irish - art book with braille has been expertly and beautifully translated by Dublin-based literary translator Irene Duffy Lynch. It accompanies Stuart’s 2026 exhibition at The James Joyce Centre, Dublin and includes a foreword by director of The James Joyce Centre, Dublin, Darina Gallagher.
Her first solo exhibition, ‘The Ghost of Michael Furey.’ was held at Sweny’s Pharmacy, Dublin, in 2023. In 2024, she presented ‘The Gretta Drawings’ at The James Joyce Tower & Museum, Sandycove. This English-Irish dual-language art book, translated by Irene Duffy Lynch, accompanies this 2026 solo exhibition at the James Joyce Centre.
Stuart contributes art regularly to the Trinity Journal of Literary Translation (JOLT), often exhibits with Artnet Dlr and volunteers with Connections Art Centre.
