“The issues I’m most passionate about are the treatment and perception of women in social, cultural and political contexts. I utilise strong visuals to deliver a message of empowerment. Particularly in relation to gender and identity; challenging the misogynist’s agenda, championing the power of self-belief”

With nearly thirty works, this is Julie’s largest solo exhibition to date with pieces printed on paper and other materials like voile fabric;

“I wanted to bring an installation feel to the exhibition; experimenting with the materials I print my work on - incorporating their properties into the finished piece, displaying them in such a way as to bring the viewer on a visual journey of self discovery”

The exhibition will be opened by singer/songwriter, Dara MacGabhann. Dara is based on the Cavan/Monaghan border. She has released multiple albums and worked in collaboration with musicians Charlie McGettigan and Tommy Keyes to name but a few. Dara is also one half of jazz duo, The Two Fives Ones, with Andy Hogg.
