Former T.D. and government minister, Michael Ring, officially launched the ‘Call of the West’ art exhibition in the Clew Bay Hotel on James Street, Westport, last Saturday, June 20.

The collection, created by locally based Irish abstract artist Jenny Grogan, was inspired by the islands of Clew Bay and the quiet beauty of the Atlantic on a still day.

Reflecting the shifting waters, changing light, colours, and sounds of Ireland’s west coast, each work captures a moment of connection with this unique landscape.

Jenny has described ‘Call of the West’ as an invitation to pause, reflect, and experience the beauty, depth, and spirit of Ireland’s western seascape.

Michael Ring commenced the evening’s proceedings by welcoming everyone and thanking them for attending this wonderful exhibition by a gifted local artist.

He further expressed his delight at being asked to do this and support the growing artist community in the town. He, too, congratulated Jenny on her second solo show in Westport. Michael remarked how wonderful it was to see Jenny showcasing her beautiful work once again in Westport.

The exhibition is open until June 30 in the Clew Bay Hotel, Westport.
