Current & Recent Exhibitions

"Portraits: People & Place" Waterford Gallery of Art (WGOA) X91 RR2R 8th September 2022 – 18th March 2023

This new building-wide exhibition presents over fifty key artworks from the Waterford Art Collection, with a particular focus on the different ways that artists have attempted to depict the essence and personality of people and places within their work.

My piece "Red Iron Bridge" was selected from the Waterford Municipal Art Collection for this exhibition as a portrait of place & time. For me it represents my attempt to reclaim an area of peace & tranquilty which was brutally taken from me when I was attacked & stabbed by a 15 year old boy on a mid-summer evening in 1995.
