Come and say hello!
I’m looking forward to being the Artist in Residence at Ballyfin Demesne from 1 - 4 December! I’ll be chatting to guests and members of the public about my work and they will be able to see work in progress and get an insight into my creative process.
This exciting residency programme has been developed in collaboration with Oliver Sears Gallery in Dublin and John Martin Gallery in London. I’m in excellent company as previous participants include Donald Teskey and Hughie O’Donoghue.
