'Bloom' A virtual yellow box exhibition through Kunstmatrix:
An exhibition involving works by fine art and design students that aim to invoke one or more of the meanings behind the word bloom. The word bloom was chosen due to the time of year, a time of great seasonal change.
My piece focuses on the center of a magnolia flower. The petals have opened, exposing the sexual organs of the bloom. The flower is in the present but a ménage a trois with an opportunistic honey bee will ensure that the bloom will bear flowers in the future.

'Cahoots' at In-spire Gallery, Dublin:
A collaborative exhibition of work by the students in 3rd Year Fine Art Paint (2019/2020) at NCAD Dublin. It was aptly named to tempt the viewing public, peers and fellow artists to visit and get a taste of what this generation of artists will contribute to the world of art. Viewers were encouraged to step inside the cahoots experience and ponder the artists work, brimming with idiosyncrasies and their unique commentary on life.

Culture Night 2020 at Temple Bar Medical Centre, Dublin:
Invited exhibitor and guest speaker at the Temple Bar Medical Centre for Culture Night 2020.
My exhibited pieces focused on hope during the first lockdown due to the outbreak of the Covid 19 pandemic. It specifically explored the reality that prior to February 2020, we went about our daily lives. We took things for granted. We assumed that the human race was marching along a path of progress and that we were unstoppable, then a tiny little bug came along and turned our lives upside-down. The world became scary and we all withdrew inside. We looked outwards from the inside and wondered would life ever be the same again. But it was through looking outward that we found reassurance that life would continue, that nature is a fighter, an unstoppable force and that we would all bloom again.
'Trajectory' at the NCAD Gallery, Dublin:
An exhibition at the National College of Art and Design Gallery in aid of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.
'Trashion Fashion' Fashion Show - NYC Fashion Week, Manhatten:
Invited exhibitor at the Trashion Fashion Show event at the Highline Greenway Park in Manhattan during New Tork Fashion Week 2016. The event is organised annually to create awareness of the environmental destruction
that is being created because of single use products and plastics that end up in landfills and oceans. My piece was titled 'Mail Order Bride' and was made from used envelopes and postal waste.
