Thank you to my mother, Diane Kathryn Kerrihard; my father, Joel Tracy Ireland; my artist aunt, Joanne Kerrihard; my other artist family members, Nina Zurier and John Zurier; my Royal College of Art (RCA) professor and tutor, Sarah Jones; my lifelong art mentors, Anne-Marie Russell, Joanne Stuhr, and Dr. Kathy Battista; and to all my friends, family, colleagues, teachers, and other mentors who have shaped my life over the years. Finally, I want to thank all the artists and intellectuals who have expanded the horizons of the world and made it a more humane and interesting place to call home.
