Our Lady`s Hospice &  Care Services in Dublin  have used my work on their fund raising Christmas  Cards this year. The cards (6″ X 8″ / 15 X 21 cm)  come  in packs , each pack contains 12 cards with 4 images  and costs € 10 .  There are four different images: “Christmas Eve”  “Magi”  “It was twenty-two below” and “Christmas Star”

All the proceeds from the sales of the cards will go towards the ongoing provision of patient comfort and care in both the Harold’s Cross Hospice and the one in Blackrock. If you need any information contact the fundraising team:
