‘Time-Lapse’ Opening Night at Ranelagh Arts, Dublin.

Thank you so much to everyone that came out to the opening of my solo exhibition 'Time-lapse' in Ranelagh Arts on Friday evening. We had a wonderful turnout. 

I want to express my gratitude to Ranelagh Arts and their committee for the opportunity to exhibit in this lovely, intimate gallery. 

I'm pleased to say that my work feels perfectly at home here, thanks to the curatorial skills of Dino Notaro.

Working with Dino has been a joy. His passion and enthusiasm for art are infectious. His keen eye for detail and high level of professionalism ensured that everything ran smoothly from the very early stages of organising to the final hanging of the work. 

Heartfelt thanks, Dino.

I also want to acknowledge Dino's trusty helper, Jonathan Doonan. Thank you for all your support  and time, preparing the space and setting up. It was really appreciated.

This is my 28th solo exhibition, but 'Time-lapse' is especially dear to me because it was inspired by my personal experience of helping care for my Mum, Maisie, who had Alzheimer’s.

"It is said that if your name is held in the hearts of others, you will never truly die," and this is the premise of my Time-lapse exhibition.

At the beginning of 2022, on the first anniversary of my Mum’s death, I launched the first of my 'Time-lapse' exhibitions as an act of healing and as a tribute to her memory.

Since then, it has grown into an evolving project, touring and Opening in art centers and galleries throughout Ireland, highlighting the timeless connections that bind us all to our origins and to the places we hold so dear.

'Time-lapse" is fueled by emotions and inspired by cherished memories. It is a celebration of the human spirit and highlights the true healing power of art.
