An Irishman's Diary - May Guinness, pioneering artist

I have just written an Irishman's Diary article in the Irish Times newspaper. It looks at the life and times of the visionary Irish artist May Guinness. Read it here.

During the First World War, May Guinness volunteered to work as a nurse at a Red Cross hospital in France. She later wrote an account of her time there. If you would like to find out more about this, see this piece written by her great-great niece for the Dublin Review.
