The untitled works displayed by MARY AHEARNE are on loan for the exhibition and are not for sale. In her own words:

"As an artist, I am really pleased to be associated with Framed for Life for the quality work that they create. They really are professional in their workmanship and always offer friendly advice to all their clients.

"It is very important not only to preserve my work but the right frame completes the art work, whether it be a painting, drawing or mix media. My work has been custom framed to compliment each individual piece. If you have any query or interest in my work, please email me at ahearnemary@gmail.com."

The titled works displayed by PATRICIA KELLY are for sale.

Patricia Kelly is a recreational artist, working mostly in oils. She has taken classes in the Paint Box Art School in Galway with Eamonn Dowdican in Sligo and currently with Stephanie Cuddy in the Roscommon School of Art.
