Sarah Lou Kinneen is a visual artist working across moving image, alternative photographic processes, sculptural installation, dance, growth, and sound. She is from a rural village in Co. Wexford, Ireland, where an early interest of ecology was born and continues to shape her practice.

Her work emerges through embodied encounters with place, often beginning with the simple ritual of daily walking and slow looking. Through these processes, she develops a collaborative dialogue with the natural world, exploring the relationships between ecology, memory, and visual art. Drawing on folklore, language, and material transformation, she is particularly interested in thresholds: between land and sea, body and object, and life and afterlife. Working with both organic and narrative materials, her practice considers how matter and stories hold traces of those who came before us.

Sarah graduated from the Limerick School of Art and Design in 2024 with a BA in Sculpture and Combined Media. Following graduation, she was awarded a Graduate Residency at the National Sculpture Factory and completed a three-month residency in Lisbon with Capacity Ireland. In the same year, she received the Parallax Emerging Film Artist Award, recognising the development of her moving-image practice.

In 2025, she was awarded the Jane Anne Rothwell Award for her installation Fruiting Futures, presented as part of Cork Midsummer Festival. In November 2025, she presented her first solo exhibition, Stolen Sealskin, as part of the Cork International Film Festival.
