Eilis & Mary are planning to capture some of the wonderful scenes within the farmland and commit them to canvas. They also look forward to meeting and chatting with visitors to Mount Briscoe on this exciting weekend. They will also be exhibiting some of their art. 

Eilis Kavanagh is a landscape artist based outside Newbridge, County Kildare. Her work is inspired by the beauty of the local countryside and bog lands, the West of Ireland and her various Camino Trips. Her collection is a personal response to the scenes she encounters in everyday life which she captures in her work. Eilis is motivated by the need to paint for her own and others pleasure and she hopes that her paintings will speak to those who view them.

Eilis has exhibited extensively both locally – Newbridge Town Hall; The Riverbank Arts Centre; White-water Shopping Centre; Ubh Café;Charlotte Mall – Newbridge .McAuley Place;Gra Art Gallery- Naas, Dunlavin Arts Festival; Kilteel Art Festival AND  Dublin at the Helix; AIB Bankcentre; Incognito , Delgany Golf Club and at the Milk Market in Limerick  - see www.eiliskavanagh.com for more.

Mary McCarthy is largely a self-taught artist. Painting mainly in oils, she also enjoys experimenting in pen and watercolour, pastels and mixed media.  Mary sees the wonder in every aspect of nature and is drawn to capture the moment in her art.  Struck by, either, the light, the colour, the place, the sky, the sea, the ambience, the people, or perhaps all of these together, she draws inspiration for her paintings.

Mary invites you to linger a moment and enjoy her paintings.
