Míle buíochas! I am very proud and happy to be featured in this amazing arts and culture programme on TG4. 'Imeall' is a programme I have always enjoyed. This March, 21st you will see me talking about my art, my lifestyle and the people and places that have inspired me to paint like a child would....I try to inject as much innocence to my work as I can, in an attempt to escape the harsh realities of modern living. Thanks to Red Shoe Productions for being so supportive.

They have arrived. They are here to bring hope and joy to one and all! A collection that is dear to my heart, for it embodies a little part of the 5 year old KiKi. I really tried to channel the sense of expression only a child is capable of....pure undiluted joy, minus the restrictions placed on us as we become adults. The aim of the collection is to explore the courage of a little seed or bulb that is under the soil and is pushing itself towards the light, despite all the obstacles; seeking out the best in life.

I was selected by the Royal Ulster Academy of Arts to show my painting, 'Bare Feelings', at their 140th exhibition in November. It was such a privilege to be part of a line up like this. The painting depicts a mixed media bear who is coming to terms with their feelings as a single parent living in pandemic times, trying to be strong for their children and experiencing the loneliness that comes with going solo on this journey. Bear is not afraid to express themselves and they are proud to wear their heart on their sleeve as an emblem of strength, boldly branded on their chest.
