Katie McCabe is currently captain of the Republic of Ireland Ladies football team. She was named captain at the age of 21, and also plays for Arsenal Ladies team. The location I'm proposing for this box is at the top of Kilnamanagh, where Katie is from.
I am a street artist, graphic designer and teacher based in Dublin. I graduated from Dublin Institute of Technology in 2012 with a degree in Fine Art, and have been working as a street artist and art teacher since then. My artwork combines intricate stencilling and freehand spray painting. I've painted at many events and festivals such as Waterford Walls, First Fortnight festival, The Beatyard, for campaigns such as Walls of Equality (Marriage Equality Referendum), and for companies such as RTE.
