2020

•​ Can Can Girls illustrations for ceramic decals, inspiration from the beautiful fading Summer hydrangeas

• Commission for UHL Dermatology Department in the new Leben building, Limerick. Leben is German for Life and this work represents life in all its forms. The Leben building has become home to a flight of swallows, who return here each year to nest in the eves. The welcome birds are a central theme in the work, displaying joy and resilience. Swallows are said to be symbolic of the healing medicine of happiness.​
