Ailish Bourke - I wanted a Pony for Christmas, so he hired one

Ultimately Ailish wants to see the images she imagines emerge in the layers of her paintings -  She follows a multi layered technique using oil, acrylic, prints of ancient times collected by her father and copied photographs of family. These are hidden moments and memories that are an integral part of her process, each layer of the paintings are brothers, sisters, aunts or uncles.
