PIGSY Press: Echo Live
PIGSY Press - Featured in the Cork Echo
I’m thrilled to share that my recent art exhibition at the Kenmare Butter Market has been mentioned in the Cork Echo Live! It’s always exciting to see my work being appreciated and recognized, especially in such a well-respected publication. Colette Sheridan, in her article about her travels through Cork and Kerry, took the time to highlight my show, which I couldn’t be more grateful for.
A Special Mention in Colette Sheridan's Travel Feature
In her article, Colette beautifully describes her journey through Cork and Kerry, two areas that are rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. What made this even more special for me was her mention of my work at the Kenmare Butter Market, a space that I truly enjoy exhibiting in. It’s always a pleasure to have my artwork in such an inviting and culturally vibrant location, and to have it featured in an article that showcases the beauty of the Irish landscape makes it even better.

A Nod to Basquiat - A Humbling Comparison
One of the best parts of the mention in the Cork Echo was the comparison of my work to the legendary Haitian-American neo-expressionist artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. As an artist, being compared to someone of Basquiat’s caliber is both humbling and incredibly flattering. His raw, powerful style has long been an inspiration to me, and to have my work described as “reminiscent of Basquiat” feels like a huge compliment.
I’ve always admired Basquiat for his ability to blend street art with fine art in a way that was both rebellious and deeply expressive. His work challenged traditional art norms and gave voice to the struggles of marginalized communities. This kind of artistic freedom is something I try to embody in my own work, so hearing that my style evokes his is incredibly validating.
A Moment of Gratitude
I’m genuinely grateful for the recognition and support that my work continues to receive. Being part of the Irish art scene has been an amazing journey, and every exhibition is an opportunity for me to connect with new audiences, share my message, and push the boundaries of my creative expression.
A big thank you to Colette Sheridan and the Cork Echo for taking the time to feature my exhibition. It’s moments like these that make all the hard work worth it.
If you haven’t had a chance to see my exhibition yet, I encourage you to stop by Kenmare Butter Market and experience the work firsthand. It’s an exciting new chapter in my creative journey, and I’d love for you to be a part of it.
Until next time, stay inspired and keep exploring the world of art with me!
