Home is everything that is inside me. Home is everything that I know and feel. Home is feeling that I belong in my skin. Home is here and now.

This painting is one of four by hilary that have been commissioned for Art Dublin'07. Following the success of ArtDublin'06, BT2 have again teamed up with online art gallery Art to Order to launch ArtDublin'07. This year's partnership is designed to raise much needed funds for homeless charity Focus Ireland.

The initiative will see the profits from the sale of specially commissioned art pieces by up and coming Irish artists directed towards Focus Ireland's Extension and Outreach Centre, a service for young people who are homeless in Dublin. An impressive total of 60 artists have been commissioned by BT2 and Art to Order to create works, which will be showcased at BT2, Grafton Street from Monday 16th to Monday 30th of July.

The artworks are varied in style and medium, with participating artists a using widely mixed medium including textiles, photography, and glass and ceramic. However theme, size and price are fixed. Appropriately each piece is based around the subject or notion of 'Home', measuring 400 mm x 400 mm and costing only 350 euro.
