“Just Add water” a solo show that was part of the Galway art festival showing in the NUI gallery in the college quadrangle. The work was result of her residency in the Royal Hibernian Academy where she researched deserted sea side resort areas.

For the festival she showed a two channel sychronised swimming video piece, One side depicting a group of women performing sychronised swimming in Blackrock Galway and the other side depicting the abandoned baths of Dun laoirghaire, Clontarf and Blackrock Dublin. She also showed a series of paintings dealing with deserted seaside resort areas, that have suffered from or succumbed to neglect in recent years.
