Solo Exhibition in 2026!
Looking forward to my first solo show Refractions, running for 8 weeks from August 2026 at the Easter Snow Gallery in the Seamus Ennis Arts Centre in Naul.
Refractions is a collection of drawings in which I explore the overlaps and liminal spaces between the worlds of visual art and music, from my experiences, memories and perspectives as a professional musician and artist.

Performance Fingerprints @ the MAC
Super-excited about this showcase event that brings my two main collaborations together, and presents research and development funded by an ACNI SIAP award.
A multi-layered event, Performance Fingerprints features four musicians Upstairs at the MAC improvising a conversation. In symbiotic response to their music, abstract computational drawing is projected onto a large screen, guided and shaped in the moment by visual artist Steve Meyfroidt - software creator and fifth member of the conversation. The musicians wander freely amongst the audience - forming a single inclusive creative space, involving the audience in the conversation, and creating a highly immersive performance experience.
In the adjacent Crush space, one or two musicians perform in improvisatory dialogue with artist Heidi Nguyen as she free-paints on a large canvas set up on the floor. Passers-by are welcome to come and go, drawn in by the sights and sounds.

Past is Prologue
Untitled Experiment hosts this innovative event - two performers independently explore the evolution of musical language and its relationship with the audience, bridging something old and something new.
My offering is a large-scale composite performance of Bach’s Partita no. 2 for Solo Violin, its five movements interleaved with specially-composed interludes by four Irish composers - Simon O’Connor, Andrew Hamilton, Benedict Schlepper-Connolly and Garrett Sholdice - and culminating in the iconic Chaconne.
Doors open from 7:30 on Saturday 15th November 2025
Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion St, London WC1R 4RL
Chile tour with HRSE
Had a fabulous time with the Hard Rain Soloists Ensemble in September sharing new music by Chilean and Irish composers through performances, workshops and recordings around Chile.
So great to meet and collaborate with composers and musicians from the other side of the world! Memories made…
New Music Biennial 2025
An amazing experience performing Glow with composer-pianist Xenia Pestova-Bennett and Hard Rain Ensemble in Bradford and London as one of 20 specially commissioned events for the 2025 New Music Biennial. Glow presents a magical, eclectic sound-world that blends the Magnetic Resonator Piano with a contemporary chamber ensemble, weaving semi-improvised elements and field recordings together with intricate, extended techniques, complemented by Steven Lee’s video art.
8th June - Glow at St. George’s Hall, Bradford
6th July - Glow at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre, London
Homiens ‘Meet the Artists’ 2025
Absolutely delighted to have been one of 30 artists worldwide chosen from competitive process for this season’s Homiens Meet the Artists initiative!
Chronically Hopeful
Two years in the making, the interdisciplinary work Chronically Hopeful blends music, movement and spoken word to shine a light on living with unseen disabilities. Production house Musici Ireland have done themselves proud with this one…as was evident from the audience reaction to the work-in-progress performance at the Mermaid Arts Centre in Bray in May 2025. More to come!
Earthrise Launch
A double treat for me - performing at Contemporary Music Centre with Musici Ireland for the launch of our debut album Earthrise, and seeing H / N on the wall behind CMC’s Jonathan Grimes, as he led Artistic Director Beth McNinch and I through some of the background, inspirations and processes behind the album and the artwork for the CMC amplify podcast.
