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.
