Gillian Wright is an Irish multi-media artist currently living and working in Donegal, Ireland. About the work in the exhibition she says, 'Belonging' is "rooted in lived experience, family, community, compassion, and healing.

"It is found in everyday acts of care and in the support we offer one another, through change, loss and difficulty," she added.

"Working from observation and then moving into abstraction. What begins as something seen, becomes something felt.

"This exhibition reflects on safety and kindness. On creating spaces where vulnerability is met with care, and where people feel seen, supported and able to heal together," said Gillian.
