BRENDA
HARRIS.
Born
in Dublin in 1953, is one of Ireland's most exciting artists to
emerge in the last ten years. Her artistic career started in fashion
business in the 70's and 80's designing and manufacturing clothing.
Living in Greystones Co. Wicklow, she exhibits country wide particularly
in Kilkenny, Wexford, Galway, Dublin and Wicklow. Her paintings
are highly regarded not only in Ireland but in the U.S.A. U.K. and
Germany. They hang in both private and corporate collections. She
was recently presented on the BBC 2 program "Awash with Colour".
Brenda
paints mainly in oil and water-colour. These paintings are full
of light and encompass the warmth and glow of her subjects. The
tranquillity of composition in the quieter corners of the gardens
and rooms reflect the nature of the artist. Her new work has vitality
and vigour in light, colour and composition. Working also as a design
consultant and her interest in 'Feng Shui' contributes to the collection
of ideas in her works. There is no doubt these works have a calming
effect on the viewer-the ideal way to escape the stresses of every
day life.
Recently
she has published a print collection of
her paintings and hopes you enjoy them as much as she does.
Brenda
exhibits and sells all year round at the Glenview
Hotel Gallery, Glen O' Downs, Delgany, Co. Wicklow. Recently
the hotel commissioned her to paint a series of paintings depicting
"afternoon tea". These paintings now hang in their permanent
collection in the Malton lounge. She will also host demonstrations
and art courses at the hotel in the autumn.
