Inside this Spring edition, you’ll find Lee Welch’s artwork punctuates each text. At times, tantalisingly textured, or in a translucent wash, Welch’s paintings demonstrate his deft ability with his material, and behold an enchanting elusive quality.

The Autumn/Winter 2022 issue is all about tactile touches, just-right lighting and spaces to inspire this issue as we prepare to hibernate in style. From slick city apartment living in Dublin to an Architectural Digest-worthy cottage renovation in the wilds of Kerry we explore and celebrate the myriad ways people make a space their home. Michelle Hanley highlights Lee Welch as an artist to watch.

Now in its 192nd year, Ireland's largest and longest running open submission exhibition showcases painting, sculpture, print, photography, drawing and architectural models by Academy Members, invited artists and work entered through an open submission process.

I recently discussed seeing the world with fresh eyes and different ways art can be experienced safely in our current situation with Ultraviolet Talks.

I am delighted to announce that I am the NCAD the School of Fine Art Studio Artist for 2020-21. I will be based in the Annex studios, James St and will be contributing to the MFA Fine Art programme.
