I was so delighted to be awarded funding from the Arts Council Ireland earlier this year through their Agility Award 2026. This funding will allow me to engage in a period of development in my practice and to focus on new modes of creating work. I will be working with the amazing Éilís Murphy of Folded Leaf as I continue to explore text and bookmaking, Also, I will have the opportunity to work with Niamh McGuinne who will mentor me as I consider the possibilities of expanded print and new directions for my practice. I am so grateful to be allowed the time and space to develop these facets of my practice, and to work with these exceptional artists.
