Zoë Gibney is an Irish makeup artist and actress, who has also worked as a writer, director, and stunt double.[1]
Biography[edit]
Gibney was born in Dublin, Ireland. She began her career doing stunts and acting.
Gibney trained as a makeup artist at the Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology and, in 2010, began the transition to makeup work on screen, first as assistant on such films as Dracula Untold (2014) and Love & Friendship (2016) and later as key artist on such films as The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) and Nocebo (2022), with much of her work being on location.
In May 2000, she played Mollser Gogan in a Gaiety Theatre production of Seán O'Casey's The Plough and the Stars alongside actors Angeline Ball and Stephen Rea. She received mixed reviews, the harshest of which – from the Irish Independent – wrote that "Zoe Gibney's tubercular Mollser is strappingly ludicrous."[2] At the same theatre in 2002, Gibney and her friend, actress Elaine Cassidy, attended the premier of Studs.[3]
In June 2022, the drama short film Always Find Him in the Kitchen At Parties, of which Gibney was writer and director, was shortlisted for the Virgin Media Discovers Short Film Competition, with a total prize fund of €200,000.[4][5][6]
