‘Holding Space‘ Sow’s Ear Art Collective: Culture Night 2024 Exhibition
It was great to be part of Holding Space, the inaugural exhibition of The Sow’s Ear Art Collective, which took place as part of Culture Night 2024, Friday, 20th September, at Bayside Community Centre. This special event marked the beginning of an exciting journey for our collective, bringing together a diverse range of artistic voices in a shared creative space.
The exhibition was a celebration of expression, connection, and the power of art to transform and engage. It was incredible to showcase my work alongside such talented artists, each offering a unique perspective that contributed to the rich tapestry of the evening.
A huge thank you to our generous supporters, Hope Beer Dublin and Zaira.ie, for helping make the night a success.
I love being part of this art collective group, it’s great to be around these other inspiring, friendly and supportive creatives and see all the various different types of mediums of art that they create. For those who attended – thank you for being part of this memorable night! And if you missed it, stay tuned for more exhibitions and projects from the Sow’s Ear Art Collective.
New packaging design of the boxes we designed for Tara Gartlan Chocolate which they will use for shipping their gluten free Brown Butter cakes and Salted Caramel Brownies.These are a new addition to the Tara Gartlan Chocolate range, handmade in Carrickmacross by Michelin star pastry chef, Tara Gartlan.
The beautiful boxes are consistent with the brand style we established when creating the brand packaging design for the bonbons boxes and Easter egg boxes. The brand logo and social media details are showcased prominently to build easy brand recognition and to continue to grow their online audience and social media engagement. The gold-detailed curvy lines take cues from the free-flowing way that chocolate is poured and the natural flowing lines in nature, as many of the ingredients are grown locally, guaranteeing the most fragrant flavours.
We are loving how well the brand packaging design of the Katie’s Kombucha range translated from the original glass bottles to these lovely slim cans. They are now available in both the bottles and cans in three tasty flavours.

A brilliant initiative and amazing opportunity aimed to connect innovative Transition Year students with mentors in the design industry on their creative thinking.
The Big Idea is a practically-oriented creative programme which empowers students to use their creativity and design thinking to develop a B!G Idea solution to tackle society’s biggest challenges.
It aims to foster creativity and innovation within the Irish education system so that current students can develop the tools to think outside the box. It shows the importance of design in schools. Exciting to see the ideas the students are coming up with and help them develop their Big Ideas!
Brilliant to recently work on the branding of Your Life Audit. Your Life Audit is a business and brand run by Catriona Kennedy, specialising in one-to-one personal life coaching, corporate coaching and coaching for schools and groups. It aims to empower clients with the tools and resources they need to unlock, achieve and maximise their personal and professional development and fulfilment.
Life coaching is a rewarding process aimed at giving you the control and direction to embrace life and fulfil your potential. It can help you identify and utilise your innate skills and qualities, develop optimism and build positive relationships, find true meaning and purpose in life and more. To put simply, coaching is all about creating positive change for you, with you and in you.
I highlighted the ‘U’ in Your Life Audit to emphasise one of the main points that they would like to get across to their clients, that –
‘Once you focus on you, anything can happen’.

A perk was selling lots of prints, which is great to know other people are enjoying my art in their homes or workplace.
