RHA Preselection & Jackson’s Shortlist

The Shortlist for the 2026 Jackson’s Art Prize was announced on the 11/3/2026 and none of my paintings made the final cut. Delighted to get down to the final 1000 on the longlist but with only 71 works making it through to the shortlist I wasn’t expecting anything more. You can view the Shortlist here and take part in the Peoples Choice award before midnight on 18/03/2026.

I was delighted to have a piece pre-selected for the Royal Hibernian Academy this year for the first time. It has been framed by Framewerk in Belfast and is ready to be delivered to Dublin on the 27th March for the next round of judging.
