2010 A NEW YEAR & NEW PLANS

A new year starts and with it a new set of plans for the upcoming 12 months, already looking ahead even as far as next December!! Several group exhibitions are in the offing as well as starting to exhibit regularly in a Dublin gallery. There is also the possiblity of some art workshops beginning in January. More anon on all of these developments as they happen. Here's hoping the coming year defies all the doom laden predictions and shapes up well.
