uncertainty.
Thank you for your time and for sharing with us
your thoughts, Paul. My last ques-tion deals with
your future plans: what's next for you?
I have been offered a solo exhibition in New York
at the beautiful Artifact gallery in 2016, so I’m
considering that for now, however that’s a while off
yet, so for now I’m looking to 2014, in the meantime
I aim to continue with the Omega series, as of yet Lough Derg Procession 2 - conte on card
I haven’t decided where I will exhibit the third
installment of the Alpha and the Omega (awake-
nings) series, so if your readers check in to my
website regularly they’ll see on the site announce-
ments upcoming shows etc.
I would just like to say a huge thank you to all who
have supported my art over the years, my family,
friends and those who have followed my progress
and encouraged me to keep creating.
