About the Artist
Niamh Corcoran, a Maryland-based writer and artist, lives in a small town on the water, where the main roads wind up at sunset. Born to a family of English teachers, she graduated from Yale University (BA English) and American University (MFA Creative Writing). The recipient of a Pushcart Prize nomination and a Maryland State Arts Council Individual Artist Award in Poetry, her writing appears widely in journals, including The Los Angeles Review, Puerto del Sol, River Styx, Third Coast, and elsewhere. Scribe Dog Studio is her art practice, her heart-work. A mostly self-taught pencil artist, she draws faces with joyful purpose—pet portraits, wildlife art, and word portraits, her current focus. In both her poetry and portraiture, she hones in on points where visual and literary arts converge toward a single green light, burning beyond the dock.
