Johanna Connor

With a diploma in painting from LSAD in 1994, Johanna Connor continued her studies at the renowned Motley Theatre Design Course, London in 1997. She worked successfully as a set and costume designer, for theatre, dance, opera and film, including at the Abbey.

As a consequence of a life altering health event in 2000, Connor's creative path altered. Returning to her art studies in 2018 she received a master’s degree from Crawford College of Art & Design, Cork and in recent years she has exhibited her work in group, solo and joint exhibitions including open selection at the RHA Annual 2024 and 2025.

In 2025 Connor was commissioned by The Glucksman, Cork to make work for their Domain of the Dinosaurs exhibition. Her drawings will remain part of The Glucksman’s Art Library Programme collection. Connor's work is held in both County Council and National collections.
