This painting was inspired by a mannequin in a jeweller’s shop in Stephen’s Green Shopping centre , Dublin and was gifted to St. Patrick’s University Psychiatric Hospital , Dublin in 2011. It seemed a very appropriate home for the work as I have experience of the wonderful work that is done at this hospital.
The mind is a very powerful part of our being and yet at the same time must be nurtured and cared for.
