I’m delighted to announce that 'Home Truths', has been longlisted in the World Illustration Awards and is in contention to be shortlisted later in the year.

It's a graphic short story and illustrated short film based on ongoing conversations and engagement with residents at The Croft and Hollybrook Lodge nursing homes in Inchicore in Dublin 8. Interviewed during level 5 lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic from September to November 2020, the residents reflect on their life experiences as they face the winter months, with poignant stories brimming with humour, tragedy, and hope.Home Truths was part of Dublin City Council Culture Company's creative engagement programme for Winter Lights, a Dublin City Council event.

I am honoured to be joined with Juliette Boutant (France) where we will present our craft and go through the process of bringing an idea to its visual iteration.
