She teaches several very popular watercolour classes and gives occasional one-day workshops. Anne is also an award winning member of the Watercolour Society of Ireland.

All her work is representational but, especially in her close-up paintings she shows the abstract beauty of the forms and colours.

Colour, contrast and texture excite the painting process. Sometimes pensive, often spontaneous, I paint from the heart whilst attempting to bring some sense of order to In my paintings I explore the beauty of colour and texture through the medium of oil and the use of a pallet knife. Much of my work is created through a technique known as “impasto”. The joy of using the pallet knife is that it enables me to connect with and almost sculpt and mould the paint onto the canvas. I developed a love of art from an early age and studied art and art history at school. I have always enjoyed exploring new mediums and in more recent years have experimented with pottery, mosaic making, wood carving, papier maché, charcoal, oil pastel and acrylic. I find however that I always seem to return to my first love - oil paint. I always have a painting in my head that I can’t wait to get on canvas. This is my first exhibition and I hope it will be the first of many.” Take time to visit the Courtyard Gallery and view new works by Sinead.

an exhibition of drawings, paintings and prints by Judy O’Sullivan at The Courtyard Gallery, Midleton, Co. 16 – 29 September 2011, Tues – Sat 10-1.30 and 2-5.30pm. Admission free
Clare Hennessy, Director Cork Printmakers on Saturday 17th September at 2.30 pm (All welcome) In her new work Judy O’Sullivan is experimenting with drawing processes, extending boundaries through photography and print. She focuses on familiar surroundings, a chair, a window, a shadow on a wall, something the cat brings in, footprints in mud, the patterns in hedgerows. These are the marks of everyday life, often unnoticed, to which we give little attention. A central aspect in the making of the work was exploring the Japanese idea, ‘mono no aware’, literally ‘the pathos of things’, the awareness of their impermanence and transience and wistfulness their passing. ‘The work grew from my reflections on different aspects of my mother’s life. I tried to make use of her gift for always seeing wonder in the small, the ordinary and everyday. She kept for me things other people might have thrown out, knowing I might find magic in an old piece of lace or fabric, a feather or things that held memories. Making a drawing holds onto the momentary experience, freezing the moment. The drawing holds our reflections and feelings making something concrete of the encounter with the object.’ Clare based artist Judy O’Sullivan grew up in Carrigtwohill, Co This is her third exhibition at the Courtyard Gallery. As well as private collections her work is in the collection of Clare County Council.

She has also, throughout her long career, expressed her creativity through painting, mostly watercolour and gouache, drawing and mixed media. Her graphic art background lends her work precision and, at times, photo-realism. Anneli’s paintings are very personalised expressions of ordinary and everyday experiences. Her subject matter is varied, and includes humanity, plants and animals. Her work is infused with light, detail and patterns. Some of her paintings are inscribed with messages connecting them with ideas beyond the canvas, whilst others are beautifully drafted and detailed still life studies.
Reading, Rivers, Dreaming Although she paints a wide range of subjects, she focuses mainly on figurative work and portraiture, often strong imagery using oil and egg tempera as her main medium. This exhibition features figurative and natural images that have created an impact on Jackie from the dark to lighter side of life. The exhibition runs from Friday 25th June to Thursday 8th July.
Each of the artists has studied art to a high level and there will be a diverse array of artworks on display i.e. ceramics, painting, textiles, mixed media, photography and wood carving.
