Artistic Development news
I have been a so busy since last summer that this website has been pushed further down the priority list each month.
Updating is now long overdue:
Art education:
I completed the art Portfolio course at Dunboyne College of Further Education in May 2009 and was selected for the Solstice Art Student of the Year award at the graduation seremony in September. Well done me !!!
I obtained a place at the Art and Art Business course (FETAC level 6) at DCFE.
I also obtained a place on the DVI (Drawing and Visual Investication ) Certificate course at NCAD (National College of Art and Designe)
As both courses are part-time (-they say) I decided I could manage both since I have “all the time in the world as a pensioner”.
In practice the courses has kept me busy 24/7 since last September, but enjoying every challenge.
The DVI course is now “hotting up” and we are preparing for completion of final drawing project before Easter.
The FETAC Art and Art Business will run until the end of May.
Samples of completed projects for both courses will be put up in the Gallery shortly.
Exhibitions:
Spirit of Dunboyne Festival October 2009
Dunboyne Christmas Exhibition, December 2009
Meath Arts Group Exhibition , Toradh Gallery, Ashbourne, December 2009
Sostice “In Between” Gallery, Navan, January 2010
While the exhibitions got a lot of attention and visitors it is evident that the recession has hit the art world and it is generally agreed that for the next year - or two - we will be busy making art and not selling too much.
Not complaining!
