Dundalk's Creative Spark welcomes eighth Artist-in-Residence for 2024

Dublin-based muralist Klo Wi returns to screen printing and embraces new mediums during her time in Dundalk at the Creative Spark Artist-in-Residence programme.

Klo Wi, a muralist and illustrator known for her vibrant, character-driven designs, is excited to announce her latest artistic journey during her residency at Creative Spark. With a background in printed textile design, Klo Wi’s work has been strongly influenced by her passion for shape exploration and character design. Her artistic range spans from digital illustration to large-scale murals and street art, gaining her recognition across Ireland’s art scene.

During her time at Creative Spark, Klo Wi will reconnect with her roots in screen printing, creating a collection of exclusive prints. Additionally, she plans to experiment with innovative mediums by utilising the FabLab’s cutting-edge equipment. Klo Wi is also eager to explore mosaic art, a new venture she has long been passionate about.

Klo Wi is looking to give back to the community by collaborating with a local youth group on an exciting mural project. This partnership aims to inspire young people through the transformative power of art and bring a unique, community-created mural to life.
