Graduating with a First-Class Honours degree in Photography from the Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT). Evanna Devine is a young Irish artist from Belfast. Her work is driven by a keen focus on socially engaged projects. She holds an important and natural talent for documenting stories within the North. After working for two years with a total of twenty-five women who lost children in tragic circumstances during The Conflict, Evanna determined early in her career that she had a talent for working with people and telling important stories that often remain forgotten. Currently working with the youth centers of Newry town, Evanna Devine’s portraiture continue to offer a contemplation of the inherited complexities of class, Irish heritage, and identity.
