Delighted to say I have had a piece of my sculpture accepted for the 193rd RHA Annual Exhibition which is celebrating its 200th Anniversary this year. It is indeed an honour to have my work shown in such a beautiful gallery with work from artists I respect and admire.

I’m happy to announce that my sculpture “Inner Sphere” has been selected for the 192nd RHA Annual Exhibition in Ely Place, Dublin.
I was awarded The ESB Moran Award for Outstanding Sculpture and silver medal from Anne Moran. It was a wonderful moment.

I have also been shortlisted for The RCSI in conjunction with The Irish Times Art Award for 2022, I am honoured to have been shortlisted.
The work comprises 132 lines of porcelain ceramic pieces hanging inside an acrylic cube 60cm. The “inner sphere” is a very personal piece to me as it was created during the uncertain times of our recent pandemic and with all the stresses and strains of trying to keep our family of 6 connected with work, schools and colleges and in the middle of all that trying to carve times for my artistic practice. The pieces are all individual and free hanging but together make a complete sphere which appears to float. The central inner sphere is myself, my space , my time with my work.
“Inner Sphere”
I hope people enjoy seeing the work in person in The RHA this year. It’s a real honour for me to exhibit my work here for the first time and I’m really looking forward to seeing all amazing work and meeting the other artists at Varnishing Day.
