Sé Daingean Uí Chúise, Co. Chiarraí, áit dhúchais Deirdre McKenna. D'fhreastail sí ar Choláiste Ealaíona agus Dearadh Crawford, i gCorcaigh mar a dhein sí staidéir ar mhínealaíon agus tá sí ag cleachtadh mar ealaíontóir gairmiúil ó shin i leith. Tá spéis faoi leith aici i gcúrsaí priontála agus cló-bhualadh agus is ball í de Cork Printmakers, áit a dhéanann sí formhór dá cuid saothar priontála. Tá a cuid saothar ealaíona le fáil i mórán bailiúcháin, ina measc, i nGailearaí Ealaíne Crawford agus coimisiún ó Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí (OPW) i dTeach Laighean. Cuireann sí ceardlanna eitseála ar fáil i Cork Printmakers ó am go chéile.
