Artist Statement

When passing this scene, you imagine for a brief moment that what you are looking at is real, but it is only a facade. The mural depicts Brown's Row, which, in its time, was the main road leading to the quays of Dundalk. It consisted of two rows of '2-up, 2-down' terraced houses. The houses had running water in the kitchen, a parlour, fireplaces in each of the bedrooms, and an outdoor toilet in the backyard. A glimpse into the past when workers on the docks lived right on its doorstep.

Since then, she has exhibited nationally and internationally at the Format International Photography Festival, UK, RHA, RUA, Visual, Dunamaise Arts Centre, and the Library Project, among others.
