“The contribution of women in society is too often invisible. Who we see on the walls, tells us about what we as a society value, about who is welcome, about who fits in. We set out on the journey of Women on Walls with the ambition of making women leaders visible to inspire future generations.”
—DR MICHELLE CULLEN, Managing Director and Head of Inclusion & Diversity, Accenture in Ireland.
‘Women on Walls is a campaign that seeks to make women leaders visible through a series of commissioned portraits that will create a lasting cultural legacy for Ireland. In 2020, DCU joined the campaign.’
I was delighted to have been awarded the commission to paint Katherine G. Johnson for this iteration of the Women on Walls campaign. The whole journey from beginning to end, working with Accenture, Business to Arts and DCU was a wonderful experience, utterly professional and supportive.
Amongst great company with 4 other wonderful artists.
