'Henrietta Street' is a series of portraits of artists in their studios at No. 6 Henrietta. The photographs, taken in 2004, capture the artists and their places of work at a moment in time. 

The houses in Henrietta street were built in the mid 1700s, and were once the finest townhouses in early Georgian Dublin. But by 1900 the houses had become tenement slums.

In the mid 1970s the houses changed use again, No 6 and some of the other houses on the street became artists studios.

2026 will be No 6's final year as studios, as it undergoes a change of ownership and much needed renovation.
