Leaving the Dublin Studio

I've had to move out of the studio at A4 Sounds. The reason being that I've been so busy around home that I was getting time to use it. Just with travelling between Dublin and Laois, if I wasn't on the bus early the day was gone and that was that. I have a couple of weeks left on the lease but I'm working from Mountrath again. I was only managing one or two days a week in the Dublin studio at least this way I can work on paintings whenever I'm home.

I'll stay in contact with the artists in the studio and hopefully manage to get back at some stage but for now I'm happy enough to be working back out in the country again and I'm currently working on a fairly large scale commission that I was asked to do during my MFA end of year show.

New Studio in Dublin

I have just moved into a new studio in Dublin. I signed up for a membership with A4 Sounds a few weeks ago and got a studio last week. I'm delighted to be back based in Dublin but with the residency in August and the exhibition last month I didn't want to break up my work time with moving. I found working on my own over the summer tough after being part of a busy atmosphere at Emmett House so I'm happy to be part of a group environment again.

There's a good number of multidisciplinary artists based in the building and there's always a lot of activity around. I'm hoping to be back painting this week but with a few small jobs to get done I'll just be working on a piece that I started about three weeks ago. It was originally intended to go into Beneath the Dock Leaf but I wasn't happy with it and restarted it the week after the exhibition opening.

No title yet but this is the newest painting so far.

I'll have a profile page on the A4 Sounds website soon so once that's up I'll post a link.
