Daughter of Cahir Wins Big in France

Cahir native Alice Maher who had been shortlisted by the French Daniel and Florence Guerlain Contemporary Art Foundation won the Laureate for the Drawing Prize 2025. Maher has been shortlisted amongst recognised Belgian and Italian artists Gideon Kiefer and Ettore Tripodi.

Born in 1956, Alice Maher lived and studied in Limerick, Cork, Dublin, Belfast, and San Francisco. For the last eighteen years, she has lived in Mayo with her husband, Dermot Seymour, from Belfast. This nomination comes on the back of over forty years of work she has exhibited both at home and overseas, not only in Europe, but in the US and even as far as China and Japan. Indeed, her art takes her to many places, having recently returned from New York. In April she heads to Budapest.

Today, Maher's work is displayed in places such as the Fogg Art Museum in Harvard, the British Museum, and her work even featured on an An Post stamp. Critics see the Cahir artist as one who draws on many elements of life, including nature, culture, identity and gender.
