Due to the heavy workload of commissions and exhibitions, Mo now works full-time in a studio in the Midlands. Oil on canvas is the premier choice media for the paintings, portraying a subject matter of intrigue and mystery informed by childhood memories. The works are not presented as a topographical likeness but merely as a means of exploring the tricks of memory and recall. They have a compelling quality that draws you back again and again. Mo Enright's work has received many prizes and awards and can be found in collections in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, Ethiopia and Russia.
