Art exhibition to donate chunk of proceeds to Donegal Cancer Flights
The exhibition will feature a range of oil paintings of iconic landmarks such as Crolly Waterfall and Bád Eddie
An art exhibition titled ‘Local Charm/Draíocht Áitiúil’ is coming to Gaoth Dobhair.
The exhibition, led by Marion Rose McFadden, will run from November 14 to November 27 at Ionad Naomh Pádraig Dobhar. Donegal Cancer Flights and Services will receive of the proceeds from 20% of the sales.
Originally from Calhame, Marion Rose’s most recent exhibition is based on local landscapes and the charm of our shores. This exhibition of oil paintings explores the enchantment of our landscape from the duirling stones to iconic landmarks.
The Bád Eddie series offers a glimpse of transformation as it ages upon the shore. There’s depth and weight in the artful rendering of stone shorescapes that celebrates the mundane as a timeless memory.
There’s a seasonal series of the Crolly Waterfall and while each image can stand alone, such changes underscore the enduring appeal of these familiar scenes.
Marion Rose has previously showcased solo exhibitions in Temple Bar, Dame Street and the RDS.
Marion has recently featured in collective art shows such as Féíle na mBan in Bundoran. She spent two years as Artist-in-Residence with the Maya Lila Program in Greystones, Wicklow and many years working with the Institute of Studies Abroad Ireland.
Her illustrations have been published in local heritage work, with Children’s Books published and developed as animated, interactive books in both Irish and English.
