Tralee-based Rebecca Lyons is one of the contributors to the Incognito sale in aid of the Jack and Jill Foundation. 

The largest artwork Rebecca Lyons has ever made was an installation of 5,000 paper butterflies at the Roundy Bar in her native Tralee. “I do an installation for Culture Night every year,” she says. 

“And that year, in 2018, I spent three solid months folding butterflies for an installation called Metamorphosis. Customers at the bar would have taken some of them home, more I would have later put on cards and given away as gifts. And some I still have in a box.”
