I’ve been selected as a finalist in The John Richardson French Art Residency Award in collaboration with Hambly and Hambly which I’m excited to show works in Ireland at the finalist group exhibition.
I currently have over 20 works in a solo exhibition in The Old Bank Dungarvan in Waterford Ireland, a small town where my husbands family are from and that reminds me of my own home in New Zealand.
