Welcome to our current Co-Director page. Here you can find information about people who make it happen.

Amy Devlin

Amy Devlin is a Belfast based artist that mainly works in the media of hand made collage and stop motion animation. ” In term of making the work I prefer the analogue approach. It allows me to feel and see the work grow in front of me. This creates a connection to the work that I don’t think would be possible if it was made through a screen. This tactility is central to my process as it allows me to work instinctively. The hand leads, creating an energy that naturally brings the work together.”

Amy studied for both her bachelors and Masters at Ulster University Belfast Campus, graduating the for the latter in July 2022. Since then she has been focusing on developing her work and exhibited recently in The Engine Room Gallery Afterword show in February 2023.

Amy joined Platform Arts in January 2023.

Hannah McMurray

Hannah McMurray is a Belfast based artist who specialises in printmaking, drawing and painting. Hannah graduated from Ulster University in 2022 with a Masters in Fine Art and in 2019 with a BA in Fine Art. She has exhibited across Northern Ireland and in London, she is currently a member of Seacourt print workshop and has a studio in Platform Arts.

Hannah’s practice is centered around gestural mark making and how creation through movement can convey emotions and narratives. Themes of time, nostalgia and grief are explored in her current body of work. Through a process of layering paint and covering previous marks the surface builds a new texture, acting as a visualisation of loss and time.

Hannah joined Platform Arts in August 2023
