Delighted to announce my upcoming solo exhibition, As It Darkens, opening on 12 July at 12pm in @engageartstudios as part of the @galwayintarts

Curated by @mark_o_gorman , the exhibition brings together a selection of paintings and sculptural works from a body of work I first began developing in 2023 during my final year at LSAD, and have continued to expand since. Featuring both new and existing works, As It Darkens explores our relationship to place, both physical and psychological, through the lens of 'soft fascination', a relaxed state of attention that engages interest without demanding focused effort. 🎄

Through this process, the work explores how spaces are experienced through movement and repeated encounters rather than from a single fixed viewpoint. The resulting pieces, both painted and sculptural, consider how memory, perception, and time shape our understanding of place, reflecting not only what we see, but how a place is gradually experienced and remembered.

🗓 As part of the exhibition, I'll also be in conversation with @laura_fitzgerald__ on 16 July. More details to follow. 🐌

⏰️ The exhibition runs from 15th–26th July, open Wednesday to Saturday, 11am–4pm (closed Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays). 🥚

Hope to see you there! 🌙

Following on from Kilkenny Co.Co. subsidised BigLook Arts Mentoring Programme 2025, mentors & mentees unite in this group exhibition at the Coastguard Cultural Center, Tramore.

This show represents all sorts of ability, from early stirrings to decades of practice. Watch out for splashes while we dive into diverse subjects, styles and inspired promptings.

Putting the finishing touches on getting some works exhibition ready for the group show I'm delighted to be taking part in which opens next week!!!

After taking part in a painting mentorship program last year, "Facing New Horizons" brings together both mentors and mentees to showcase how we've each developed our individual practices.

If you can, it's worth taking a spin down to see such a varied painting exhibition in an absolutely gorg location 🌞🌊🎨👀

From taking part in a mentoring programme @biglook.art , receiving funding to undertake workshops to develop new skills @kilkennyartsoffice @firestationartistsstudios , my first artist residency in Chania, Crete @capacityireland , becoming a studio member with @engageartstudios and having my work included in 10 group shows across Ireland and Crete!

Here's to what 2026 will bring! ✨️

(Perhaps a solo show so watch this space folks...... 👀)

And that’s a wrap on Artist Connect Mentoring 2025!

A huge thank you to Kilkenny Arts Office for their generous support and for joining us at the beautiful Lavistown House for our recent in-person gathering 💛

We spent the day sharing work made over the ‘Taking the Next Steps in Your Art Career’ course, with a brilliant group crit full of generous, nuanced reflections from Ciara, Maurice, and the fabulous Kilkenny Arts Officer and artist Mary Butler. We enjoyed a gorgeous lunch from @cakefacepastry and took in the beautiful surroundings - the misty rain, sheep and white horse added to the ambience!

Big shout-out to our artist mentors Gabhann Dunne, Ciara Roche and Maurice Quillinan, and to the amazing artists who made this course so enjoyable. We’re excited for what’s next! ✨

This year’s ✨Archipelago Festival of Colour✨ poster is here! 🤩

Once again, illustrated by the incredible @pam_eqa, who is a brilliant animator, illustrator and painter. She was responsible for last year’s painted bell tent, which will once again make an appearance in this year’s festival! 🌸

The poster is inspired by the magical Land at @willow_and_lore_farm, which will hold us throughout the weekend and gift us some of its colour too! I’ll be announcing the programme of this year’s activities very soon, but you can certainly expect natural dyeing, pigment making, inks, cyanotypes, wild clay and deep ecology 🎪🌈✨

There will be a limited edition of screen printed posters for sale, and thanks to our first sponsorship by @ocar.ie, they will include authentic Red Antrim Ochre (Ócar Dearg Aontroma), a very special pigment in this island 🧡 The posters will also include indigo from last year’s community indigo vat and charcoal from Willow & Lore’s fire pit. Watch this space! 💙🖤

Join us in this weekend of playful activities for crafters and families to explore botanical dyes, pigments and inks! Tickets via the l¡nk in b¡o or at http://festivalofcolour.co 🎟️

Yesterday, a few of the Kilkenny-based Artist Connect gang and some lovely new faces of our ‘Take the Next Steps in Your Art Career’ interactive class with @ciara.roche and @maurice_quillinan met up in Kilkenny - for the first time ‘in real life’. 🤓
It was a lovely few hours of art, chats, and craic.

We were delighted to catch artist and Big Look alum Vicki O’Donoghue’s stunning solo show at the Watergate Theatre. Don’t miss it - it’s on until April 29th! @vickianneodonoghue 💫
We followed this with lunch and a visit to Ursula Burke’s powerful work in @butlergallery @burke.ursula ✨

Thank you again to @kilkennyartsoffice and our mentor friends Ciara, Maurice and Gabhann for partnering with Big Look on this fabulous subsidised online mentoring programme.

Here’s to more gallery hops and arty meet-ups in 2025! 💥
