What a strange time we live in. I arrived back from Kerala after my amazing time running a trial painting course for Art Holidays Kerala in the middle of January 2020. We were full of ideas for January 2021. Little did we know we were going nowhere for a while.

I feel so grateful for that opportunity. I am not a person who travels regularly but when I do I like it to be memorable. I think we all need to develop that sense of awe for travel again. To me going away should be amazing in a sense of exotic and completely different experiences.

Anyway I was full of plans for an exhibition of work done in response to India. This never happened. I did spend the first year of the pandemic working as a carer and tutor for people with additional and challenging needs. This year I’ve been teaching second chance leaving certificate students as well as my lovely open studio students in KCAT, inclusive centre for students of all needs
