‘Painting through the lens’ will run from August 5 to September 4
Clare Arts Office, in conjunction with Cultúrlann Sweeney Library Gallery, is delighted to present an incredible new art exhibition, titled, ‘Painting through the lens.’
The artist is Pauline Dunleavy and she is a Kilrush native, specialising as an art teacher and community advocate rooted in the dramatic landscapes of West Clare. The creator draws endless inspiration from the shifting moods of the River Shannon and the Atlantic coast.
Ms Dunleavy's deep connection with the sea comes from her former career, where she worked with lifeboat crew and as a Station Manager with the Kilrush Royal National Lifeboat Institution for over 25 years.

Now painting for nearly three decades, Pauline's style has matured into vibrant pieces that are rich in texture and transparency, often incorporating abstract elements layered with pastel, charcoal and acrylic before final oil or wax finishes.
