'Where the Curlews Once Sang' a short film I created, documenting an area near to where I live, that is going to have over 130 homes built. This film was part of the Bríd Festival Sligo in the The Hyde Bridge Gallery, Sligo.

Thank you to the extremely talented and generous writer Lorely Forrester for her beautiful thought provoking poem which Lorely very kindly allowed me to be included in the film. A big thank you to Tabby O Callaghan for recording and editing the sound.

After seeing this video I received a lovely email from a lady asking me for a commission piece about the curlews which I'm in the process of making!

Bríd Festival Sligo — Hyde Bridge Gallery Exhibition now open from the 31st January 2026 My work in this exhibition is to raise awareness of the very low numbers, near to extinction, of native Irish Curlews. Based on recent data, it is estimated that there are now approximately 95 to 105 breeding...

The curlews have so many problems already 🥹 I'm glad to see this issue being raised regarding hill fires.

During a wildfire in Brookeborough, County Fermanagh on Thursday, a curlew nest directly in the fire's path was found.

Look at this!! 💙 I took this photo of Foula from the hilltop of Scalloway in my native home Shetland a few years ago. My best friend Amanda Jayne Tait asked me to make her a cyanotype picture with one of my Curlew drawings for her cooker splashback. Her son Keirynn Topp rendered it and created this stunning piece of glass. I am beyond thrilled with how it looks. What a fantastic commission to be asked for. Thank you to Amanda and Keirynn. 🤗💙
