And on to Kilkenny....


What a great weekend in Wexford! The festival this year was even bigger and better than before. Artists arrived from all corners of the globe and descended on the streets of Wexford and Enniscorthy. Thankfully, the locals didn't seem to mind the invasion! I really enjoyed being 'poster girl' for the event too!

And now, on to Kilkenny. I am delighted to be exhibiting with Anne Ryan McGree during the Kilkenny Arts Festival. The exhibition takes place in Butler Court, Patrick Street. It will be officially opened on Thursday the 4th at 6.30pm, by Mayor David Fitzgerald. The exhibition opens daily from 10am to 6pm and continues until the 14th of August.

Butler Court is a beautiful spacious venue, and I will be in the larger room upstairs. I'm looking forward to exhibiting many new pieces, such as the image above. Alongside my new originals, it will be my first time exhibiting my latest prints and of course my expanding greeting card collection.

Anne is a Kilkenny based artist and returns to this venue for the second time. She will be exhibiting her beautiful watercolours, prints and cards downstairs.

Hopefully you can join us on Thursday evening for a glass of wine!

Art in the Open 2011




Yipee!! It's that time of year again, when the streets of Wexford town and Enniscorthy are taken over by painting enthusiasts. In what has now become Europe's largest painting festival, this year promises to be bigger and better than ever before!

The weekend kicks off in Enniscorthy on Friday the 29th of July, where we will paint for the day. On Saturday and Sunday we return to Wexford town to paint there. The weekend concludes on Monday, with an prize giving ceremony and exhibition in Greenacres Gallery.

So, if you're around Wexford this bank holiday weekend, why not check out the festival? And check out your truly on the festival poster!!!

Greeting cards now available online!



Following the popularity of my greeting cards at previous exhibitions, they are now available to purchase direct from my website.

My Belleek Woods series of paintings and prints have been so admired that I have chosen these two images to feature in my specially designed greeting card wallets. There are ten cards and envelopes in this wallet. The A6 sized cards are blank inside for your own message. Printed in Ireland using litograph printing, they are of exceptional quality. Thanks to Paul for all his hard work on the design side of things!

Click here to check them out, and perhaps make a purchase online! Just in time for Mother's Day too....

Springtime News...



It's been quite a while since I've written on my blog. What can I say...busy painting!

This month sees me being featured by the American website, Oak Creek Printworks, as their Featured Artist for Winter 2011. Check out www.oakcreekprintworks.com for a great selection of greeting cards and accessories!

I am continuing to expand my collection of limited edition giclee prints, and I have recently added two new prints to my collection. Following the popularity of my woodland scenes, 'Woods in May' and 'Wicklow Woods VI' (pictured above)are now available as prints. Further information on these may be found on my website.

I am very excited by the arrival of my newly designed greeting cards and wallets. I hope to have these available to purchase directly from my website shortly, but more about that very soon....
