Páraic Leahy

June - July
Holycross, Thurles
Graduate from Limerick School of Art & Design in Fine Art Painting 2008, Páraic Leahy works with miniature paintings and polaroid paintings in contrast with large works. The tension between the small and the large, the real and the imaginary and the photo and the painting aims to create a sense of childhood wonder and curiosity.

Eve Parnell

August - September
A Receipt For Life
The title indicates concerns with ultimate salvation. The artist’s perspective on the path to enlightenment to the ultimate day is both serious and light-hearted and fully in the Romantic tradition of the necessity of human subservience to the natural world. Eve’s work has exhibited in London and various venues in Dublin including The Oscar Wilde House. Her work is in the State Art Collection and the AIB Art Collection also.
