Shortlisted for the John Richardson French Residency Award, Hambly & Hambly
​
​I was honoured to be shortlisted for the John Richardson French Residency Award 2026, organised by Hambly & Hambly Gallery in association with the Royal Ulster Academy & Eamon Colman Irish Artist & Member of Aosdána. The award celebrates artistic excellence and offers artists the opportunity to undertake a residency in France.
My work was selected as part of the John Richardson Exhibition of Finalists, where shortlisted artists present their paintings in both a virtual and physical exhibition at Dunbar House.
Being shortlisted for this award is a very special moment in my artistic journey. It is an encouragement to continue developing my practice and exploring my ideas through painting.

I was delighted to be featured in the Irish Examiner Property & Home, with a beautifully written piece by Eve Kelleher and photography by Brian Arthur.
The article offers a glimpse into my studio practice, my connection to the rural landscape of County Limerick, and the role painting plays in my everyday life.
While I’m happiest working quietly in my studio, it means a great deal to have my work shared with a wider audience in this way.
