Maureen Clara Foley is a Luxembourg-Irish artist based in Delft. She graduated with a MA in Philosophy from Leiden University in 2026, where she researched concepts of play and being-with-others.

 

​Maureen’s artistic work is inspired by walks and bike rides through familiar landscapes and stories she invented as a child. Working primarily with a mix of acrylic paint, coloured pencil and oil pastels, she creates pieces that add a sense of peacefulness as well as a dash of colour in the spaces they occupy.

 

​Painting is Maureen’s way of living out the philosophy she has studied. She has come to see life as something playful, something to be experienced fully, and to be made beautiful with other people. Creating and sharing her art is one of the ways Maureen wishes to embody this philosophy.
