I’m really proud of this association with Fierce Nice - a gallery I've long admired. We’ve been working on this for a while, to get just the right images at the best quality possible. Fierce Nice have created a wonderful (very cool!) online platform with a beautifully curated portfolio of artists and it’s just what I’ve been waiting for. All my editions are strictly limited and each print comes with a signed certificate of authenticity, just especially for you collectors out there. Digitisation was created by the incredible Copperhouse Gallery with the only Cruse Scanner of its type in Ireland.

It’s now good for another 500 hundred years or so! Nice to know that her painting will live on with her wonderful writing for generations to come. The Druid Theatre Company have special plans for this piece that was commissioned to be painted onstage during the performances of ‘Boland - Journey Of A Poet’.
