GALLERY: Local Artist Sue Kelly hosts art exhibition at McAuley Place, Naas

GALLERY: Local Artist Sue Kelly hosts exhibition at McAuley Place, Naas Sue Kelly from Naas has rediscovered her school days love of art in the recent past, finding painting very therapeutic she expresses her Joi de Vivre by using bold, bright colours in her work. Starting out with acrylics and moving on to oils but in the past few months has started using glitter to create some very special artwork and it is proving very popular.  Sue likes to portray her emotions in her work through colour and silhouettes and believes anyone can then put themselves into a painting. Sue takes on commission work and is very grateful to McAuley Place for the opportunity to display her work, “It’s a wonderful chance for someone like me, who, at this stage, would not be able to get a slot in a gallery” she also added that her paintings are on show until the 13th of April and she can be contacted on 087 6523326 for commissions or enquiries on any of her work currently in McAuley Place.
