I'm up!!!!

As part of we are showcasing each of our members as an introduction to who we are and what we do. 👩‍🎨👨‍🎨🧑‍🎨⚘️🌻💐
Head over to our intagram page to get to meet some of our very talented artists and get a glimpse into our different art practices and what drives us individually. 🌏

Im looking forward our next in-person meet-up in the next few weeks to discuss whats next for us all. Its been a bit of whirlwind already for me considering Ive been out of touch with my art while I was caring for my mam the last few years. But I have to say its lovely to be back!!! 🌺

Gratitude 🙏 and Love ❤️

Even the fact she died at this time of the year fills me with gratitude. Everything is coming alive. Everything is new beginnings. I truly believe she shook off all those symbolic chains, her feeding tubes, her central line, the bars she was forever behind in the hospital cots and is now in an existence in the form of prefect freedom.

Spring is here.

New beginnings for us both.

I need to get back to painting again. I need to take a leaf out of Katie's book and leave the past behind.

I need to come back to me ❤️‍🔥

Ban fox hunting now.
Suggested text to email TDs with thanks to

Dear Deputy,
I am asking you for your view on fox hunting and whether you will support the Bill to ban fox hunting, expected to be moved at second stage on 17 December by Deputy Ruth Coppinger.
Fox hunting emerged as an important issue during the presidential election debates. Most people were aghast at the description of this brutality as a ‘rural pursuit. Ireland is now an outlier on this issue.
I call on all parties to remove the whip on this issue and allow a free vote. Polls show 77% want fox hunting banned, including a majority in rural and urban areas. Yet this is not reflected in the Dáil.
A fox getting chased by a pack of dogs and horses and torn limb from limb is not a rural pursuit or method of control on farms.
Please let me know your stance
Yours sincerely
