art practice
Cora Duncan has one foot in the art world and one foot in the business world. She is an artist, a management consultant and an art influencer.
She runs the popular art platform @coracurates where she interviews fellow artists every week and collaborates with multiple art organisations such as the Royal Ulster Academy in Belfast and the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin. Throughout her twenties she held marketing posts in various tech companies and then, after receiving her MBA in 2005, she moved into management consultancy, most notably for PriceWaterhouseCoopers. Her consultancy work has primarily centred on strategy development and performance improvement for the finance & banking, retail, public and creative sectors. Clients have included JP Morgan London and Cazenove London investment banks, Invest NI, Scottish Enterprise, Queen’s University Belfast, Dundalk Institute of Technology and NI Civil Service among many others.
In her art practice she creates collages and mixed media paintings using original and found photography, paper and paint. Her work has been featured by the Royal Ulster Academy of Arts annual exhibition held in the Ulster Museum, the Holy Art Gallery in London and in many group exhibitions. She exhibited in 'Art on Loop' in July & August 2023 in Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels.
