Siobán Piercy is a hugely imaginative and thoroughly original printmaker. Her desire as an artist is primarily to reveal 'someting of the human experience'.

In this book we are told how time spent studying in London and Italy were to have an irrevocable impact on her work, and how reoccuring motifs and preoccupations have matured and shifted as a consequence. Her beautifully sensuous prints, with suggestions of physiologial research, draw on the works of Danté and William Blake.

Her interests in dualism and psychoanalysis are also evident, and are used in her work to reveal the struggles inherent in acheiving the expression of our spiritual nature. Siobán Piercy treads a distinctive path with her accomplished screenprints, a medium that is something of a rarity in the fine-art quarter and one which Piercy uses to great effect. - Ian Wieczorek, Circa, 1997
