Clare Arts Office, in conjunction with the Edna O’Brien Library in Scarriff, will host “In Clondorney Bog – An exploration of a local peatland”, by the artist Caitríona O’Sullivan from 23 March to 25 April, inclusive.
Caitríona O’Sullivan is a landscape artist and floral designer from Tulla, County Clare. Her work is inspired by the colours, forms, textures and moods of the East Clare landscape. Working in pencil and pastel, her drawings express her emotional connection to the environment, highlighting its beauty, complexity and fragility. Her locality also inspires the botanical installations and arrangements she makes using dried and fresh wild plant material.
She has taken part in group exhibitions in Clare and further afield and will hold her first solo exhibition at the Edna O’Brien Library in Scarriff, running from 23 March to 25 April, inclusive.
‘In Clondorney Bog’ is an exploration of the unique environment of her local peatland through drawing and installations crafted from bog plants. It aims to be an immersive experience, inspiring in the viewer an appreciation of the value and beauty of our local boglands in County Clare.
