Alice Maher born at Kilmoyler, a rural area between Bansha and Cahir, County Tipperary, 1956 is an Irish painter and sculptor.
Alice Maher received her early education at Ballydrehid National School and at Coláiste Chríost Rí, Cahir. She later graduated from the University of Limerick and the Crawford College of Art in Cork. She spent time in San Francisco Art Institute in 1986 as a Fulbright Scholar and represented Ireland at the São Paulo Bienal in 1994.
As a contemporary artist, Alice often paints textiles, ropes and hair and sometimes includes these materials in her work. She is interested in how identities, particularly gendered identities, are constructed from the peculiar texture history and culture give to artefacts that surround us.
