A 2004 biography stated, "Recent works have been preoccupied with notions of portrayal of the self and with deception, dealing with the sublimated desire for self-expression of the artist and the tension between revelation and concealment." [2]

She has made several short films, This is between us (2011), Charlie's Place (2012) and Procession (2012).[3]

Personal life

In 2004, McGuinness married her long-time boyfriend Cillian Murphy, with whom she has two sons, Malachy born in December 2005 and Aran born in July 2007.[4] She is the niece of Fianna Fáil politician John McGuinness.[5]
