ST. AIDAN'S SERVICES FOR ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES 2019
Under Wexford County Council's Creative Communities Programme, I worked with clients at Beta Unit to build on the art-making skills they had developed with me on a previous project in 2017.
They produced a series of individual artworks which reflected their abilities and interests. The clients and carers also worked together to create a series of portraits of the clients.

CHILDRENS PUBLIC ART IN THE PARK
Wexford Arts Centre & Wexford Local Development 2019
From February to June 2019, the children at Southend Family Resource Centre explored a range of art-making techniques and media towards a series of small public sculptures which were installed in the local parkland in Maudlintown, know locally as, 'The Rocks'. We used the flora & fauna of the area to inspire our work and the children's portraits to connect them to the place. The final pieces were made from coloured cement and laid into the newly installed viewing platforms in the park. Artists Pavlina Kubelkova and Nick Jarmin assisted on the project.

LIVING ARTS PROJECT 2013-14
Established in 2013, The Living Arts Project is a collaboration between Wexford County Council and Wexford Arts Centre. The programme faciliates a number of 14-week artist residencies in schools across Co. Wexford each year. The residency culminates in an exhibition of the children's works at Wexford Arts Centre.
I participated in the residency during 2013 - 2014 alongside the children and teachers at Our Lady of Lourdes NS, Bunclody. We took 'self-portaiture' as our theme and worked through a number of different media towards individual pieces on board.
