Arts Council Acquisitions
Really delighted that the Arts Council of Northern Ireland has decided to acquire a set of my work for their permanent collection! It’s a real boost to have my work in another public collection, especially that of the Arts Council, many thanks to Suzanne Lyle for her support.
