Art exhibition THE BERKELEY GALLERY, KILKENNY

I am delighted to participate in Art at the Mill at the Berkeley Gallery in Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland. Featuring over 100 talented artists, the exhibition runs from May 31st to August 20th.


The gallery, housed in a beautifully restored flour mill, provides a stunning setting for this celebration of Irish visual arts. Organized by AKA (Alternative Kilkenny Arts) as part of the Annual Kilkenny Arts Festival, the exhibition brings together artists and the community in a vibrant showcase of creativity. Visitors will be immersed in a diverse array of paintings and sculptures, each telling its own story.



The work I am presenting, Alchemy, draws inspiration from Carl Jung’s notion of the shadow and individuation, exploring themes of the personal unconscious through rich textures and evocative imagery. As always, I’ve brought along Maggie the Mule, my trusty good luck charm, to accompany me and share in this artistic journey.
