My interest in, and love for, painting goes back to Kilkeel High School in the 1960s and our art inspiration Mrs Newsam. In the decades that followed there wasn’t much time made to pursue this hobby until I retired in 2018. Saint Bronach’s became my “home” and I found myself surrounded by artists! It was a small step to join Heather Cerefice’s watercolour classes and this has opened up a whole new dimension in my life. My other love is photography ever since, as an eight year, old I was given my first Box Brownie! Now with the luxury of digital photography, my camera holds in excess of 50,000 images!
Title of Work Saint Bronach’s looking towards Carlingford Lough. Watercolour Two hundred years in this building, many centuries of witness in the district. What a heritage! What a privilege to be called to carry on the work in and around Rostrevor. The Lough is likely the route Bronach travelled when she arrived in this district.
