Heartfelt thanks to the incredible staff at the National Gallery of Ireland @NGIreland for making us feel so welcome during the AIB Portrait Prize events. They made those of us who felt somewhat like imposters occupying its hallowed walls as though we might belong. 🙏




Sarah Cecilia Harrison was a cultural and political trailblazer. She founded a number of successful projects aimed at combating unemployment in Dublin. In 1912, as soon as women were able to stand for election as councillors, she successfully won a seat on Dublin City Council.



My copy after @SirWilliamOrpen 'Lieutenant Egerton M Letts'. Only had two days with this at the Gorry Gallery before it went to auction @deVeresAuctions Fortunately, I had access to Orpen's palette which helped with pigment matching. #orpen #gearoidhayes #gearoidarthurhayes
