I partisipated in the Christmas exhibition with 24 art works of which 14 were sold and one commission was received. A successful event for myself and also for many of the other artists taking part. I especially appreciated the great interest in my new textile art pieces. It has encouraged me to try and develop the technique further and try and produce even bigger works.
I am thankful for all your generous comments, appreciation, interest and support.
The Dunboyne Artist’s annual christmas exhibition is just around the corner and preparations are well under way.

The May 2006 Old Schoolhouse Art Group exhibition in Trim, Co, Meath was a great success. It was opened by Aine McLoughlan, the art coordinator at St. Joseph’s Hospital and was a great occation. A total of 26 paintings was sold and 10% of the proceeds went to the ART Dept. of St. Joseph’s Hospital in Trim. The variety of the mediums used and the quality and standard of the artwork is impoving all the time. Well done erveryone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
