Senga Sharkey creates colourful, textured, abstract and mixed media paintings in response to her emotions and interpretations of the world around her.​

​​​I live and work in County Fermanagh, where my practice is shaped by both the local landscape and my family’s long-standing ties to the area. Increasingly, my work also draws on memory, feeling, and imagination, allowing personal and collective histories to merge with more abstract ideas.
Storytelling lies at the heart of my practice, though always in an open-ended form. I offer fragments -images, textures, and words - that suggest narratives without ever completing them, inviting each viewer to create their own meaning. My paintings balance abstraction with familiarity, where glimpses of recognisable forms emerge within layered, ambiguous surfaces.
I am particularly interested in the concept of liminal space: neither wholly abstract nor fully representational. Collage, image transfer, and text introduce traces of reality, while drawing and acrylic painting push the work back towards invention and possibility.
Through this interplay, I create spaces that hold both tension and harmony, where viewers are not given answers but are encouraged to step into the narrative themselves.
