Ballina Arts Centre
Bernadette Kiely is one of Irelands leading painters. Born in Co. Tipperary she attended the College of Art and Design at Waterford and the Slade School of Fine Art in London. She came to prominance as an artist through her detailed exploration of the seasonal and organic life patterns of the physical world. Often working on a large scale she is informed by her close connection to the land and waterways of her native county and her adopted county of Kilkenny. She paints spaces and places, refuges and prospects that are both steeped in personal significance for her and that explore the way we instinctively find significance in landscape. More

It is not only the surrounding environment that will have an effect on this work but also the viewer, who is invited to have a physical encounter with the More

Helen Comerford trained as a sculptor and worked with a variety of materials until she discovered wax as a medium while working on a small commission in the early nineties. When, in a whimsical moment, she put beeswax together with pigments, she discovered the ancient art of encaustic painting used by the Egyptians and Greeks.
