Killiney Hill
Photo shoot in Killiney for the Sunday Independent magazine in November 2006.... The day this photo was taken...the sun was splitting the stones and the sky was a beautiful azure blue...but, boy, was it freezing!!!! The things I have to do for my art!!!
Out of Africa
Mum, Dad and yours truly in Africa....I was born in Nigeria,Africa.....sometimes I think that I can hear sounds from that time and visualise what it was like....even though I was only a baby when I came to Ireland .I often wonder how hard it must have been for my mother to be so far from home and expecting her first child in conditions less than 'comfortable'.My parents went to Nigeria as teachers with the St.Patrick Missionary Fathers....the friendships they cultivated there lasted throughout their lives....as a child I grew up listening to fascinating stories from that wonderful,mysterious country.I have never been back,but I did make it to Tanzania in 2005 when I climbed Kilimanjaro....I remember standing on the very top and singing in memory of my beloved father,Ciaran....and realising that I was standing on the highest point of this world I would ever be....the closest I would ever be on this earth to my dad....if one is to think in physical terms...I know that all seems silly...but all these thoughts flooded into my mind as I stood on that mountain top
Red rose,blackdress
This is the cover shot on my brochure,'Souvenirs'....I decided to compile the brochure in a bid to have all my c.v.details,photos and musical selections accessible in one area....The brochure has proven to be very popular with those dear fans interested in me and in my career
St.Rita
This is a visual image of the evening I sang at the wonderful celebrations for the triduum of St.Rita at St.John's Lane Church this year....May 22nd. A wonderful priest ,named Fr.Frank O' Shaughnessy was responsible for introducing me to this great saint....known as the 'Saint of the Impossible'.Every Saturday morning ,large crowds go to the mass to pray to her for their special intentions....and many have experienced miracles. Sadly,Fr.Frank passed away this year....I pray that he is at peace in heaven...sitting alongside his favourite saint,Rita
Kilimanjaro
'Climb every Mountain'....as the song goes.....and I was climbing a very big one in this photo....Mount Kilimanjaro.....In 2005,I managed to get to the very top of it!!!!!....not too bad for a couch potato!!...but as you can see there were times along the way when I had to take a rest!!!
