To all my
friends,
2009 has been an exciting year for me. The studio at the
Courthouse Gallery in Ennistymon has been wonderful and
I share it with the brilliant Polish Photographer Olga.
In May i worked with Kenneth Webb in Connemara and
painted around Ballyconnelly, Clifden, and Roundstone.
RESIDENCIES.
In June 09 I was invited by Richard du Stackpoole to
the Errisbeg & Stable Gallery in Roundstone, Connemara.
I stayed there for 2 weeks and shared the house with the
talented Italian artist Roberto Carli. Weather was
brilliant and we saw Connemara at its best. During the
year I studied under Trevor Geoghegan at the Burren
College of Art in Ballyvaughan,Co Clare. Thanks to the
President Mary Hawkes Green for all the encouragement
she gave me.
In September I stayed for 2 weeks at the Cill Rialaig
Project at Ballinskelligs Co Kerry. Each artist is
allocated a renovated cottage in the restored pre famine
village on the Bolus penninsula. The scenery is
breathtaking and well worth a visit. Artists from
Canada, England, Ireland, and Czech Republic were my
fellow artists during this wonderful time. Huge credit
to Noelle Campbell Sharpe for having the insight and
determination to complete this project and rebuild this
facility for artist, writers, and sculptors from all
over the world.
CRUISE LINERS.
 I
have just been appointed Art Instructor aboard some of
the biggest cruise liners in the world including Cunard,
Celebrity Cruises, Queen Victoria, Queen Mary.etc.
First cruise in March 2010 is from San Diego down the
pacific ocean calling at Acupulco, Mexico, Colombia,
through the Panama Canal ond on to Miami. Part 2 is
across the Atlantic to Dover, Rodderdam, and finishing
in Hamburg. In October I travel all over the Med. from
Venice, to the Greek islands, Istanbul,Rhodes,Corfu, and
back to Rome. Good news is I can bring a friend free.
Any interest?
