A leitmotif in Groener’s work has been the psychological. Ciarán Benson (now Emeritus Professor of Psychology at University College Dublin), when writing about Crossings, concurred with Groener’s visual imagery of road and journey to depict the evolution of the self. “The lines are paths of experience” – Martí Peran on Groener’s work. Groener’s approach resonates with Freudian or Lacanian theory, with works signalling the danger of losing the individual in the collective or the unknown, but with the same or related works pointing towards disconnect or disintegration at the level of the person. Patrick T. Murphy, Director of the RHA, writing about Groener’s State at the RHA, puts it thus: “…the universal task of situating the self upon this earth. How do we figure ourselves within the societal, the geopolitical, the global?”

Groener is known by her drawing and drawing-like artworks which are often pinned with cut-outs to the wall, and usually at a very large size. The work of Groener over the last decade from 2005 to 2015 is at the same time solitary and over-populated. In the case of the work that she titled her show in 2013 State in the Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA), Dublin, art critic Cristin Leach Hughes wrote “Nearly 2,000 tiny individuals are trapped, held with pins. Stand back and they form the population of a spotlit planet, a floating sphere that points to man’s ultimate insignificance. Step forward and they argue for the intimate importance of our presence in the scheme of things.”

Following her transfer from the Netherlands to Dublin, Groener appears to find early, affluent acceptance by her colleagues. She was appointed as a member of the Committee for Independent Artists in 1985, in the same year, she helped bring an exhibition of 10 Dutch artist to Ireland. She was among only 120 composers, artists and a calligrapher who were included within The Great Book of Ireland released in 1991. She began her teaching in the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) in the Department of Fine Art in 1982. She was the Course Director in the Department of Fine Art during two periods and was the department’s head from 2004 until 2006. Groener was forced to leave DIT to start her own work in 2014.

Contrary to her later pieces that were more restrained the writers on the first exhibitions of her work in Dublin were amazed by the bold visuals and execution and considered them to be in her (New) Expressionist and possibly Cobra traditions . The link between her earlier and later work could be seen in monochromatic, large paintings like Trajectory 2004 or Crossing in 2006. They are expressive and gestural, but more stylized than earlier pieces, which were more likely to include human- or animal-like elements, which were more prominent in proportion.

Groener also works with film and animation, as in video pieces in her Royal Hibernian Academy show Crossings in 2006, or her graphic animation Somewhere Else, shown in the Kilkenny Arts Festival in 2012.
