Group exhibition with Phillip Cullen, Gabriella Eviston, Ben Hennessy, Joe Moran and Chris O'Brien Shanahan. Curated by Kathleen Delaney as part of sprÓg!!! the pre-Spraoi festival for children at Garter Lane Arts Centre from Taken from the pathway during autumn and winter 2008, the photographs include close-up abstract studies that reveal rich colours and textures. The natural earth colours found in the diverse flora at Fenor inspired the installation “Weave”. Bog oak and hazel create a framework on which snapshots of the bog weave a visual tapestry. more info on punchinello
The Index Gallery at Central Library, Lady Lane, is the venue for “dreamcatcher.” The collection includes landscape and abstract paintings inspired by Waterford’s natural heritage; including diverse environments from suburban garden to seascapes. The most recent pieces have their origin in Fenor Bog Nature Reserve and include paintings in oil, a book of photographs and a collection of sound recordings. Fenor Bog is recognised as an important example of “alkaline fen.” the thirty-two acre National Nature Reserve includes areas of wet woodland willow and alder, swampy grassland, tussock and wet herb swamp, with a reed bed in the pond. The gallery is open to the public during library hours and the work will be on display from 4pm on Saturday 15th November and continues until the 29th. exhibition info.

“Unfamiliar Territory” , Exhibition at Foley's on the Mall in Lismore, Co. Waterford, based on travel sketchbooks, this solo exhibition coincided with the Immrama Travel Writer's Festival and continues until the end of June. The abstract pieces, influenced by the artwork of desert artists in Western Australia, are a visual journal recounting the 5000km journey across the desert and outback. Strong colour and abstract images depicting the expedition by car contrast with the soft tones of oil paintings based on sketches made during walking expeditions in Tuscany and Ireland. exhibition info here April Delighted to loan a selection of recents works to Regina Mangan for opening of her new offices in conjunction with Waterford Chamber January 2008 Goso: Short visit to Goso, Malta November 2007 : work in progress Donnalucata : oil on canvas, wip
