A recent mural I painted in a private house. They wanted it to bring a sense of the garden life outside into their large hallway, so when they come downstairs in the morning they are greeted with a bright and summery scene.
Well time to get keep my head down away from distractions, the date is set (Sept 8th) for my next solo show.
Lots done but more to do. Am itching to get cracking after a busy few months on other projects.
Really looking forward to exhibiting at this lovely venue, see the programme of events below:
Birr Theatre and Arts Programme of Events

10 am – 5 pm both days
€160- materials and lunch included
A full weekend of mosaic encompassing all the stages from design, application of tesserae, and grouting. Plenty of room for experimentation, playing with colour and shape, and great for activating those problem solving brain cells!
Mosaic is one of the most fun workshops to take part in. Like a giant puzzle with beautiful results!
All tools and materials provided and a lovely lunch each day.
Suitable for all levels, no experience necessary.
I can feel the brighter days really reaching into every dark, unlit crevice that has been hidden by the winter. Thankfully! It has given me a new surge of energy to paint. Here’s one on my recent ones. It’s called ‘Swell’, and is oil on canvas. I really wanted to bring some yellow into this one and am happy with the results…
I was recently asked by the local drama group, Sliabh Aughty Drama, if I could help them out with some props for their production of ‘The Salvage Shop’, a play set in a stained glass workshop. They needed a piece based on the Stations of the Cross. Aside from the time and cost of making a piece from glass and lead, the logistics of transporting a glass panel around, without breakage as they tour, was tricky. So with a piece of perspex and a few pots of glass paint, I produced this fake replica of a stained glass panel. Am pleased with the results, and it was so enjoyable to do. I hope it looks the part on stage. Looking forward to seeing the play at the upcoming East Clare Drama Festival in March..
Tuesdays starting Feb 3rd
Weekly art class for 6 weeks
10 am – 12 pm or 7 pm – 9 pm
Capparoe, Scariff
€90- Basic Materials included
An ongoing weekly art class designed to give participants the building blocks of techniques and approaches to making art. Through a 6 week course we will cover observation, line and form, expressive mark making, composition, colour mixing and tone. Becoming familiar with these principles really helps to build confidence in creating your own art.
The benefit of being part of a regular group is not just the weekly practice of working on your art, but also the exposure to other peoples approaches and ideas about art, creating a dynamic and supportive environment. Sessions will include practical exercises and individual guidance and support to each participant as they explore their own areas of interest.
The final term of art classes for 2014 are up and running starting back with the popular Tuesday evening mixed art class. Students are working with a variety of subjects and mediums, some taking inspiration from the beautiful autumn leaves as seen in this lovely study.
