I finished writing and drawing the book,
IRISH MOSS OF A DEAD MAN'S SKULL in September. It is an exploration of alchemy, four Roberts, and the healing properties of abstract art. It will be out next year, likely in February from The Owl Circus.

writers... I applaud you. What a difficult and rewarding job you have. At times I wished words made different shapes!

I got a dream come true COMMISSION in 2024 

I was commissioned by The Robert Boyle Foundation to make four site specific paintings for the John Sterne Library at Trinity Medical School to honour Robert Boyle. The work is installed at the Library, which is adjacent to St James's Hospital in Dublin.
The work is also now part of the Trinity Art Collection, which will ensure its care and longevity.

In lieu of a portrait- as there is no accurate representation of Robert Boyle from the time he was alive and what really lives on are his words, ideas and methods - abstract paintings were commissioned.

I have very gratefully received funding from Fingal County Council for time and space to engage with my primary practice, abstract painting; and a mentor session to assist in developing a plan to integrate the results of research and painting and prepare for exhibition.

This funding is very important to me. I have been fortuante that Fingal and Mayo county councils have supported my work over the last few years. from research to fabrication and time to think.
