Artwork description:

Foxes are generally portrayed as villains in fiction - clever but sly. So people often view them negatively. No longer only found rurally, more and more foxes are coming into the city to scavenge for food. So we get to see them in unlikely areas – housing estates, gardens, parks etc due to the availability of food sources in built up areas. They are often spotted robbing bins, swiping discarded take away food, or enjoying food left out for them by city dwellers. Instead of treating them as menaces, we can appreciate these amazing, beautiful wildlife creatures with their bushy tails, who have chosen to live amongst us in order to survive.

Biography:

I am a graphic designer originally from Galway but living in Lucan for the past 26 years. I have worked many years as both a freelance designer and an inhouse designer. I do much of my work digitally - posters, computer illustrations, photo retouching, and PowerPoint presentations. As well as digital work, I also hand-paint murals (interior and exterior), window designs, signwriting projects etc.
