With support from the Arts Council Agility Award  I have been able to expand my practice to work directly with 3 performing artists in Belfast to research and develop subject matter for a new series of work. They are Angelique Ross, Michelle Thoburn and Emmen Donnelly. As a part of my investigation I decided to paint their portraits. ‘Mish’ is currently on show in the 193rd Annual Exhibition at the RHA as they celebrate their bicentennial year.

In 2022, Emmen was shown in Cairde Visual in Sligo and Angelique was exhibited in the 192nd Royal Hibernian Academy Annual Exhibition in Dublin.
