Micaela O'Herlihy

Micaela O'Herlihy is a multimedia artist best known for her short experimental film A Thunderperfect Mind which premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.

Micaela likes to paint and draw on paper, cloth and film. She works in sound, paint, paper, trash, 16 and 8 mm film, burlap, DV and cardboard. She ventured into film when she realized she was constantly trying to make her paintings move. Her sole collaborator is her small son Thurman Fionn. Her grandfather is Dan O'Herlihy and her siblings are Colin O'Herlihy and Eilis O'Herlihy.

In 1999 she received a BFA in Painting from San Francisco Art Institute and in 2003 an MFA from UW-Milwaukee. Her recent day jobs have included adjunct professor, translator for people with severe speech impediments, farm laborer, urology technician, and paranormal videographer.
