Sounds From A Safe Harbour.

In September 2025, I was invited to paint a mural in Cork, at Bakestone cafe. for the Sounds From A safe Harbour festival. Along side artworks I created for a series of posters for events throughout the festival- A festival unlike any other. A magical place and space created for curiosity and collaboration, compassion and creativity. My artwork felt like the colourful teddy bear on the front of the truck full of powerful melodies, harmonies, poems and personalities. A week of wonder, music and musing, which has filled me up and lit fires inside me. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the love and invitation to contribute to a very special space in time.
