DCU commission
I’m excited to share this painting commissioned by Dublin City University for their St. Patrick’s campus.
St. Patrick’s campus is one of three campuses in North Dublin, home to the Institute of Education, known for its excellence in teacher education and research. DCU’s IoE trains the majority of Ireland’s primary and early school teachers.
With a focus on nurturing and developing the strengths and imaginations of future educators, they incorporate new approaches to education, including STEM education and play-based learning.
The brief outlined nurturing and developing a child's strengths and imaginations in fun and inclusive ways. I drew from themes of possibilities, playfulness, and the future to create a painting that aims to capture the joy of discovery and symbolize the promise of a brighter future.
