The Directors of MART, Ciara Scanlan and Matthew Nevin, are proud to present a curated selection of visual artists from our vibrant studio at The Grainstore Cabinteely Park. This exhibition serves as both a celebration of artistic expression and a thoughtful inquiry into the role of art in shaping both individual and collective identities, locally and globally. Our artists employ a wide array of mediums including painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, illustration, digital art, photography, film, and performance art. This exhibition provides an essential platform for our members to exhibit their works publicly, enhance their visibility, and engage with wider audiences. Through this showcase, MART is excited to demonstrate the breadth of artistic talent we support, while also aiding our artists in advancing their professional careers and opportunities to market and sell their work. The MART Studios at The Grainstore is kindly supported by Dún Laoghaire- Rathdown County Council Arts Office and The Arts Council of Ireland.

About the Artists:

Louise Newman’s work can be found in many Private and Public collections including, Bank of Ireland, The O.P.W,  Department of Defence, The Flynn Hotel Group, The Haddington Hotel Dublin The Blackrock Clinic, Irish Credit Union, The European Patent Office Munchen, Touchstone Healthcare and in the Private Collections of many. Her present work came about through residencies on Clare Island,  The Cill Rialaig Project in Co Kerry, also time spent in Connemara and West Clare. Her Coastal scenes are of The Wild Atlantic Way, an area of great interest and  significance to the artist. Her work shows assured use of texture and mark making with a concentration on surface. It is her intention to continue to be informed by her observations and feelings about that which surrounds her.  www.louisenewman.com
