Hosted by painter and sculptor, Joe McCaul, who is the current chairperson of Kava as well as being Mary's husband, the show will be officially opened by newly elected Councillor Paul Killilea.
The body of work displayed in 'To the Waters and the Wild' has been created by Mary over the past year, and shows the development of her creative journey, from landscape and nature influences to inner influences and abstract images.
Currently living in Ballinderreen with her artist husband Joe, Mary hails from Bunduff, near Mullaghmore, Co Sligo, growing up between a lake and the sea. The exhibition's name, 'To the Waters and the Wild' comes from Mary's favourite poem, 'The Stolen Child' by WB Yeats, with both the title and the subject of the exhibition reflecting the strong influence of Mary's childhood home.
Some paintings depict water, oyster catchers and the wildness of winter seas. In others, abstract shapes appear with hints of forms that disappear into swirls of playful lines and blocks of colour.
Mary says she hopes that visitors to the exhibition will get as much pleasure from viewing the paintings, as she had in creating them.
Don’t miss the opportunity to see 'To the Waters and The Wild' at Kava Courthouse, Kinvara.
The exhibition will run daily from 11am to 5pm from June 28 until July 7.
