Exhibitions
'Fusion'
Curator and artist
Residency group exhibition
I had the privilege of curating my first group exhibition with The Munster Technological University Grand Parade Gallery. I organised an exhibition with eight artists, who were graduates of Crawford College of Art and Design, including my artwork. This was a great opportunity to create an exhibition title, advertisement, and the layout of a combination of different artistic mediums. I adopted a leadership role and took the initiative with a creative artistic license. I worked with eight fantastic artists: Mel Mcgrath, Jemima Recks, Mary O'Leary, Roisin Mohally, Lynn O'Donovan, Roisin Kelly.
