I’m delighted that this fabulous exhibition is coming to The PlayHouse in Derry. I had the chance to see this when it was on display in the Botanical Gardens in Dublin…these paintings are just so incredibly beautiful…and of course are of subject matter close to my heart. I urge you to go along to The Playhouse from the 11th-24th August to have a wee looksee at these beautiful paintings…full details can be found here.
