We have so many places to eat out in Cork - where are your go to spots for coffee/ lunch/ special meal? I think I definitely like to be entertained! If I have to bring something it’s usually a desert and nearly always cheesecake ! But when I have guests for dinner I’ll make a good Vegetarian Curry with all the usual trimmings! I was very excited to be part of it.Įntertain or be entertained? If it's the latter do you have a signature dish? Recently I featured in a play at the Cork Arts Theatre, called View From A Window written and Directed by Sean Creagh, as part of their 10x10 series of plays, five from Ireland and five from the UK, which ran from April 25 to 29. It was such a thrill and an amazing experience and we’ve also had the privilege to play at Habour Light Singer Songwriter Club run by Musician Billy Kennedy and his wife Sheila here in Crosshaven. We were very honoured to support Jack O'Rourke at Tracton Arts Festival last summer. I play banjo, guitar, Ukulele and I sing (and write a little too) I also play in a duo with my friend and professional musician Carlos Paz. My two main hobbies are music and acting. My friends and family are very important to me so yes I love to catch up when possible, I’ll be meeting my three sisters in Kilkenny in a few weekends as we all live in different areas, it’s important to make an effort so we can don’t loose touch.ĭo you get to indulge any hobbies? Even as a spectator? One of my oldest and dearest friend Jackie lives on the Aran Islands, and for years we’ve spent Summers there separately and as a family,i t’s DEFINITELY the place to recharge your batteries, beautiful scenery, beaches, and good pubs too!!ĭo you like to catch up with family/friends at the weekend? I’d probably like a five star weekend break to Florence where we spent our Honeymoon, it’s such a beautiful city and we both love Italy.Ĭloser to home, is there some place you like to head to recharge the batteries? If money was no object where would you head to on a weekend city break? And who would you bring with you? Yes, work does creep into the weekends especially if I’m working on my own stuff, at the moment I’m learning new printing techniques so I’ll try to get that in on a Saturday for instance. which is it for you?Īlthough I enjoy a lie in, I would say I’m an early morning person (but not tooo early) … I like that I’m up early I feel I’m having a longer day and I fit more into it and I love to see a sun rise.ĭoes work creep into your weekend at all? As the night suggests a HUGE dish of Nachos is made with all our favourite toppings, a big cheese board and some wine (of course!!) Might sound boring to some people but when you’re busy all week and your kids are growing and leaving fast, nights like that spent together laughing are the best ever! What is your ideal way to spend a Friday night?Īlthough I love to socialise, my favourite Friday night is “Nacho Night” spent with Tom and my girls in front of the telly watching “First Dates” and “Gogglebox” and laughing our heads off at the shows. Now I love to pass on what I’ve learned to others and thoroughly enjoy bringing a class through the process of making in clay. I have exhibited nationally and internationally, sold my work in galleries and online and been part of wonderful Artists Collectives (including Owenabue Artists Collective in Carrigaline of which you will find on Main St Carrigaline) and learned so much from being around such talented artists. I’ve been working with clay and print for around sixteen years now and I have to say from the moment I stepped into college to learn about it, it has gripped me ever since. During the week I work as a Ceramic and Print Teacher in Colaiste Stiofain Naofa, Carrigaline Community School (where I am also Artist in Residence teaching 4th year students) and Mahon Family Resource Centre.
