Future Exhibitions
Visual Arts 2012 - 'Our People, Our Places' by Tara McCarthy - March Exhibition
Tara spent her early childhood in Vancouver, Canada, and New Hampshire USA ,but has lived in Kilgarvan most of her life.She attended Kenmare secondary school where she enjoyed the benefits of Joe Thoma's relaxed art classes. Tara comes from a family of artists, and now, as a mother of five it was inevitable for her to want to make painting a part of her children's lives also. With this in mind Tara set up "The Canvas Club" for children in 2010. This little club has provided an outlet for the local children's creativity and imagination, encouraging a love for visual art and self expression. Inspired both by her children and the beautiful Kerry landscape, Tara's paintings are all acrylic on canvas, with impasto painting becoming a favourite as the layering of paste and paint achieves a lively tactile effect on the canvas.
Tara has exhibited in joint exhibitions throughout kerry, including the Carnegie Arts Centre's many events, but this is her first solo exhibition.
This exhibition will run until March 24th. Admission free.
