✨𝘾𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙃𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙯𝙤𝙣𝙨✨

Exciting new art exhibition coming to the gallery at West Cork Collective Saturday 30th May M𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 & D𝙖𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙪𝙤 Liz Price & Natalie Dwyer.
All paintings available to purchase!

𝗟𝗶𝘇 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 is a 𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙩 who has lived in West Cork for most of her life. Mainly self-taught, she primarily works in watercolour, preferring the 𝙖𝙩𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙥𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 it creates in her work. She is fascinated by old decaying buildings and the way that nature takes over that which man discards. While spending some years living in France, she found herself drawn back to 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙄𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙨 as their certain 𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙘 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙮 suited her personality. Viewers of her work are invited to feel the 𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 of a scene and not a photographic copy.

𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗲 𝗗𝘄𝘆𝗲𝗿 is a self-taught modern 𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙩 who loves to draw the viewer into 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧-𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨 and spark their imagination with a sense of awe. Having grown up in West Cork watching her mother interpreting the landscape through watercolours, she takes deep inspiration from both the beautiful, ever-changing landscape around her. Natalie’s 𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙨 are framed miniature encaustic wax paintings on paper depicting 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨, both familiar and unseen, the veil between worlds, and the “other side”. There is something immediately 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 about work on this scale, and a feeling of wonder that you are holding a 𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 in your hands.

Open 7 days from 10am, 11am on Sundays and Bank Holidays till 5.30pm.
