BIO

Síle Marrinan is an Irish-born photographic artist based in the New York area. Rooted in her Irish childhood and shaped by years of travel, her work examines light, memory and the passing of time.

Her practice began with the 2021 publication If Only for a Moment, a meditation on childhood, motherhood, and seasonal rhythms. Work from this ongoing series has appeared in juried exhibitions across the United States.

In recent work, Marrinan turns to the terrain of memory, where recollection is neither fixed nor linear but layered and continually reimagined. Drawing on family photographs and archival documents, she examines how personal histories shift and reconfigure through time.

In 2025, images from this body of work were featured in two exhibitions at BAU Gallery in Beacon, New York. Her photographs continue to be exhibited throughout the United States, and her practice centers on the interplay of light, passing time, and historical materials—where memory remains in continual flux, as fluid as changing daylight.
