As a member of the Féile na Bealtaine Committee, I am involved in curating and developing the visual arts programme for the festival, promoting upcoming local talent and showcasing quality artwork in the area. I am one of the founding members of the West Kerry fine art printmaking group Meitheal Eitseála – est. 2010 to promote and develop printmaking skills in the area and to support printmakers by providing a professional open access printmaking studio, exhibition gallery and education programme. D’Fhreastail mé ar an gColáiste EalaÃona agus Dearadh, Crawford i gCorcaigh áit a dhein mé staidéar ar mhÃn-ealaÃon (péintéireacht) agus táim ag cleachtadh mar ealaÃontóir ghairmiúil ó shin, lonnaithe im’ áit dhúchais. Táim ar choiste Féile na Bealtaine (féile ealaÃona Chorca Dhuibhne) tá mé bainteach le eagrú an clár fÃs-ealaÃona.
