A prizewinning artwork by 16-year old Clare student, Eimear Fitzgerald, from Ennis Art School, has been chosen to illustrate the 2025 Texaco Children’s Art Competition Calendar just published.
One of thirteen artworks selected, her piece, entitled ‘Best Friends’, will appear during the month of December and will be seen in thousands of homes throughout Ireland during the coming year.
Winning third prize in the 16-18 year age category of this year’s 70th competition, Eimear’s double portrait was described by Final Adjudicator, Gary Granville, Professor Emeritus of Education at the National College of Art and Design as ‘very effective in expressing relationships’.
