As we move into May, I've been spending as much time as possible outdoors, soaking up the vibrant summer blooms and the sunlight that this season brings. It is a wonderful time to be an artist in Ireland, and I am finding so much energy in the fresh colours of the hedgerows and fields.
In the studio, I've been busy preparing for a full season of creativity. From our first summer workshop to brand-new events in the heart of Kilkenny, there is so much to share with you this month.
