​The Secular Icons.                                 Venues: The Courthouse Arts Centre, Tinahely, Co. Wicklow 2022 and Axis Arts Centre, Ballymun, Dublin, Ireland. 2017

This is a body of work that was made over eleven years consisting small-scale paintings in  the style of icons. The themes are secular versions of the subject matter of Byzantine icons, such as ethics, the ideal family and how to live a moral life. In the 21st century most people get information  and instruction from the TV and the Internet in the form of advertising and social media. This exhibition casts a critical eye over consumerism, body image and examines contemporary society. 
The collection, along with many new additions was shown as Icons II in Tinahely from 15 May to 12 June 2022.
