The SCOOP Foundation's Art Auction & Exhibition 2010

On Tuesday the 14th of September 2010, the SCOOP Foundation will host their 2nd annual Art Auction & Exhibition in the hope of raising €35,000 in order to build a brand new, three floored, concrete built school in Cambodia that will not only create a place to educate up to 250 local Cambodian children, it will also become the centre for a community in an impoverished area outside Phnom Pehn.


So in order to try and raise the funds needed for a school they are gathering art from all around Ireland and the exhibition and subsequent auction (on Sunday the 19th of September) will be quite unique as it will blend together some of the most well known Irish artists, with the best new comers, street art artists, photographers and everything in between. The exhibition will launch on the 14th of September with a reception in the beautiful Ormond Wine Bar.


I look forward to exhibiting with the foundation, and hopefully helping them raise funds to support their ongoing work. One of my paintings, Dalkey I, will be auctioneed off on the 19th.

Art in the Open 2010

This August Bank Holiday weekend saw myself and more than one hundred other plein air painters flock to Wexford town for its third annual Plein Air painting festival. This year it was bigger and better then before. On Friday and Sunday enthusiastic painters were dotted around Wexford town, while on Staurday the painters invaded the picturesque town of Enniscorthy. The efforts of the weekend culminated in a most impressive exhibition in Greenacres gallery, which opened on Monday. There almost five hundred people gathered to admire and marvel at the standard and variety of work that was produced in the course of three short days. It was an amazing experience, and while I wasnt fortunate enough to win a prize, I did make an appearance in Tuesday's Irish Times! http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/features/2010/0803/1224276085928.html
