With Christmas fast approaching, I thought it would be useful to put together a little list of where you can find me and my work over the coming weeks. There are a few lovely festive events in the diary and this year I am thrilled to have had my work selected for the Royal Ulster Academy’s 145th Annual Exhibition at the Ulster Museum. If you're planning to visit any of these events, do come and say hello!
You can still find me at The Studio at Castle Ward which will remain open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and often during the week, except of course when I am taking part in an event.
