Artwork description:

"Tiptoe to the Bayno, Where the Kids go, For a bun and cocoa, Tiptoe to the Bayno with me" The children of the Liberties sang this when they attended the Iveagh Play centre from 1915 to the early 70's. Inspiration comes from the railings and decorations outside the building on Bull Alley. I've tried to keep a stained glass style, like the previous artist on this box, as a nod to the cathedral.

Biography:

A face painter and balloon artist, I've recently re-trained to become a tour guide. I'm just starting to guide people around Dublin city including the area around St Patricks Cathedral.
