| Don Niccolo Caracciolo Gold Medal + £1,OOO |
| "The Refugees" I spent two years working in a studio located over the refugee center in Arran Quay. This aquainted me with the tremendous difficulties experienced by these lost souls. I determined to express my reaction to their plight in this painting. |
| Royal Hibernian Academy May, 1997. |
| Abbey Stained Glass Studios |
| £5OO Award for the Artist with the most potential for future appreciation . I was greatly uplifted by this award which came at a time when I was feeling particularily isolated and out of step. I felt that my style of painting was out of fashion and would not attract this sort of recognition. |
| Arnott's Portrait Award October 1999. |
| Name of award here |
| The award was for a portrait of my good friend Henry Murphy who lives in the ground floor flat in the house where I live. I had been reading 'The road to Wigan Pier' by George Orwell and felt that Henry was an ideal subject to express the feelings that this book produced in me. |
