Hi there Friends,

It's been a very busy few months here between my usual run of classes and workshops, including my 101 masterclass in encaustic at my home studio. A tailor made package for 2 people where I introduce participants to the joy of encaustic painting on panel, including, medium and paint making, incising, accretion techniques and transfer...a great fun day out with lots of materials to play with..I have two weekend dates still available prior to the Christmas period, so drop me a line if its a day of exploration and experimentation you think you might enjoy.

 Those of you who follow me on Social Media will know by now that we had a very successful opening of our touring show, Shifting Walls, in Monaghan at the Upper Gallery in the Monaghan Co.Council arts office space and Gallery at the Market House.   Opened by Darren McCreesh, Artistic Director of Iontas Centre in Castleblayney, we are very proud to have our current work exhibiting here in Monaghan as three of the four of us currently exhibiting are from or living in the county.  The show runs in Monaghan until Nov 21st, do go and see this diverse and interesting show as we explore what keeps us going forward when all the walls are moving about us.​
Its also been a busy time for exhibitions as I showed a number of works from my "hidden...Out Loud" series at Hambly and Hambly at Dunbar house in Enniskillen as part of their summer solstice celebrations during their event happening as part of the amazing Fermanagh Live festival.
L'art Pour L'art, was a magical happening event as an opening reception for the exhibiting artists with the most spectacular music provided by Maeshine a Bangor based duo, namely Inge and Anna who fuse Folk with cetic, world and new age genres...soulful stuff and a terrific showing of available works from yours truly and many others.

Hambly and Hambly at Dunbar House in Enniskillen.

I have had the distinct pleasure of having my work accepted by one of my very favourite Galleries, Hambly & Hambly at Dunbar House. (See images below, of pieces currently available there). One of my first encounters with this fantastic large Commercial Gallery came through Facebook, I was astounded by how many of the artists I follow, love and admire where on show here....I quickly joined their mailing list and when well enough started to attend some of their amazing and varied exhibitions and happenings.

In 2018 my work was accepted for the 1ft sq show, an annual exhibition I have been delighted to be included in now for some years, with the unfortunate closing of the wonderful Higherbridges Gallery in Enniskillen the exhibition was opened in the Strule Arts Centre in Omagh. It was a successful exhibition with the usual mix of stunning works from all levels of creative....It was decided by the powers that be that the exhibition should again be shown in its original hometown of Enniskillen and Hambly & Hambly was the chosen destination much to my absolute delight. This was the first introduction of my work to this prominent Gallery and our relationship has developed from there.

I am seriously thrilled to tell you my work is available in the same space as so very many of my peers & idols, contemporary & modern artists and abstractionists...this progressive vibrant and quite possibly largest commercial Gallery in the region is ticking all my boxes, do yourself a favour and go visit, the breath of work is outstanding, varied and exciting and the venue itself a hidden oasis of grace and elegance.

Shifting walls on show until Aug 24th at Strule Arts Centre, Omagh.

We had a wonderful night at our Opening Reception for #shiftingwalls in Strule Arts Centre, Omagh...or so I'm told! Due to a calendar clash I was unable to attend the opening night...we knew this as soon as our dates came in and whilst it was unfortunate it was unavoidable.

Kate, Jo, Roisin, Jackie and Sinead were all there, along with Fermanagh and Omaghs District Council Arts Manager Byrony May who so readily agreed to open on our behalf ..and what a fine job she did (https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Wv-xUlbRj/?igshid=yczlbiykga0c) and thank you again Byrony, your support means a great deal to us all.

I had mentioned earlier there are plans afoot for a closing event in Strule before this exhibition continues onto its next destination (The Markethouse, Monaghan followed by Droichead Arts Centre, Louth). However at time of writing we are still finalizing these details, coordinating so many busy diaries is never a simple task and I shall of course tell you all as soon as I can on the date settled, for now I'll leave you with an open invitation to go see our exhibition, enjoy our work and feel free to let us know your opinion or indeed share your #shiftingwalls story.


Next Saturday I am teaching in Armagh....wanna join me?

I have mentioned before that I was bringing my wax ironing workshops back to Armagh in August, and it's coming up....Saturday Aug 10th to be exact ..and news is there is 1 space left....see below for details xx N.

Niamh! What a wonderful workshop, already looking forward to next one! I highly recommend this workshop and is suited to everyone, ya can't go wrong! I had never heard of Encaustic wax painting and just loved it! Came away with my own unique pieces of art, which is the beauty of Encaustic wax painting, no two pieces are the same! 
Great afternoon, for a group of friends to learn a new skill and experience some fun also!!!

I would just like to thank Niamh for her wonderful class in Armagh in Encaustic Art. It was a very enjoyable day using a brand new craft that I had never heard of. Niamh was an excellent teacher who explained fully how to use the iron and wax to create some wonderful pictures. I am really looking forward to the improvers class to create some additional pieces. Today I also received my first encaustic art set in the mail complete with an iron. I have a new hobby to enjoy. 😀Thanks again Niamh, see you soon. x
