Meeting Carly was like stepping into goddess energy. Her work centres around heart-centred leadership. She guides folks in leadership positions in balancing energy, finding genuine presence, play and uncovering subconscious belief systems.

Expressing someone's grounded yet large energy in a photoshoot is the most rewarding process. For her rebrand at carlyclarkzimmer.com Carly had such a clear vision, which came to life in such a vibrant way with the outfits she picked and the locations we selected. The shoot day was full of fun and intentionality.

Thank you to for this stunning backdrop for this set up. Their Orangery room is something else.

The beautiful Willie Ó hÍomhair.

A multi faceted, multi lingual, multi instrumental human. A teacher, a writer and a musician. Always has an interesting story to tell, always able to hold a captive audience as well as being an active listener. His home house is very inspiring, so very Dickensian, whimsical and homely.

I have been thinking lately about how music is meant to be communal as well as a spectacle and consumption, and the impromptu house trad session that Willie invited me to recently made me feel like I apparated into one of my favourite fantasy novel scenes.

The Harvest Ireland is live!

Such a pleasure to have created this collection of images for this amazing event and concept, lead by the wonderful Annie Claffey and her team.

The Harvest is a 3 day wellness event that takes place in March Connemara Coast Hotel.

This event is about carving out a space for yourself in a busy life and making that a part of your daily practice going forward. With experts in meditation, yoga, mindfulness, acupuncture, journaling and many other steps to self-awareness, you’ll gently be guided through a transformative relaxing weekend.

I loved listening to Annie’s story and observing her absolute and organic drive to connect. She’s one of those people that chats to everyone she meets and gets them on her positive wavelength. She’s assembled a truly supportive community that through their expertise and experience reveal that even in that daily grind, there is goodness and wholeness to be found.

Before all of the news broke, I got to spend time at the hospital, working on a few photography projects. And for the first time in my life, I felt at home there. Healthcare and art, at its best, share a common thread of empathy and a desire to heal.

I had the privilege to see and document the Saolta Arts project Deepest Shade of Green and witness Ceara Conway and Anna Mullarkey perform healing music to the patients at the wards. I can't tell you how profoundly moving that experience was. You can now listen to the original songs on saoltaarts.com/stories/viriditas

As we all now collectively search for healing and comfort, I am grateful for the people that continue to selflessly provide it.

The Deepest Shade of Green.

Like a lush trailing plant, this Galway 2020 European Capital of Culture project aims to bring music, theatre, poetry and visual arts to patients' bedsides.
In her compilation of songs titled Viriditas, artist Ceara Conway explores the healing properties of music, the link between nature and health, and the need for art in hospital environments.

Next Saturday is Galway 2020 Opening Ceremony. Expect 300 performers, drums, fire, fireworks and magic to hit Claddagh at night! In the latest installment of Meet the Maker I spoke to Rickie O'Neill who's one of the two drum chiefs involved in the show. Rickie is ridiculously fun and kindly ruined his drum skin to get this class shot. 😁

Meet the Maker: Brian Fenton.

Brian is the associate producer at Druid theatre company. For Galway 2020 European Capital of Culture he's working on The Galway Tour, which brings a series of one-act plays on tour across county for three months.

Meeting the creatives that are putting together the 2020 programme is so incredibly enriching. After meeting Brian, I went and bought Lady Gregory's selected plays - one of the iconic writers that will be brought to life when the shows open in spring.

I love hearing about the different facets of what it takes to put a project together - I've never seen someone so excited about the logistics of planning as Brian, his eyes light up when he talks about his job.
