Event Description

A series of art exhibitions by artists in St. John of God Community Service, Willowvale Active Retirement Day Centre.

Irene Jackson has been painting for a few years and has been attending an Art and Friendship Club in The School House for Art in Enniskerry. She has learnt many new techniques there and is interested in a wide variety of creative activities from painting through to craft. Colour and shape are important to Irene and she especially likes the tactile qualities of paint and will often use the adhesion of other materials to complete a piece.

Willowvale has an art room with a gallery wall and has a thriving creative programme in an environment where older people with different interests and abilities can develop their creativity. Refreshingly these artists make art purely for the purpose of enjoyment and the artists’ subject matter is individual and of a personal interest. Making art has become an essential component of activity in the centre.
