Carlow Arts Festival 2019 June 4th to 9th has a fantastic line up of creative events and exhibitions, including interactive shows, street music, theatre and a drive-in movie. Many events are free thanks to the organisers and sponsors.
Focus on Inclusivity & Reaching Out
Artists from around the world join with local artists to perform and display their work through pop-up galleries and at 'Art Works' at the Visual. This year artists have been invited to submit work in response to the song lyric:
Dearly beloved,
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life
Let’s go crazy, Prince. 1984
During Carlow Arts’ Festival my art will displayed in the window of Shaw’s retail store on Tullow Street, Carlow.

Carlow Arts Festival is an important cultural event for Carlow which has plenty to offer its visitors in terms of hospitality, good food and heritage.
Carlow offers outdoor pursuits such as river and forest walks, fishing and rowing and of course plenty of opportunity for shopping - Carlow Visitor Information.
I look forward to meeting my creative friends during the festival and visiting their exhibits and performances too.
Add Colour Inspiration to Your Home or Work-Space:
My art tells stories that awaken dreams and keep them alive, through the use of vibrant colours and the freedom of allowing imagination to seep through reality.
Explore my artwork to feed your own dreams and keep them alive. You'll find landscapes, trees, scenes from lands such as India and Portugal.
Choose from original paintings in a variety of sizes or a range of prints including limited editions.
Through my art and writing I share stories and inspiration for transformation, healing and dreams turning to reality. When you visit my gallery you glimpse my journey, my authentic path. It took a ‘Break True’ moment to point me towards developing my artistic talents. It’s never too late to make a new start. I’ve achieved a lot in a relatively short time. My work has been presented in New York as part of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, has been displayed on county Post Office and has been show-cased on National TV. Read more about my art journey here.

A Great Affinity with Earth & Humanity
I love Caroline’s art which conveys a peaceful, deep understanding of the essence of place, through colours, fluid shapes and perfect light, evoking smell, time of day and her connection with nature.

A Fund of Talent
In representing the Carlow Association of London at the St Patrick’s Parade in New York in 2015 it was my role to make a presentation to Carlow Association of New York. I wanted something special to show the link between Carlow, New York and London.

I contacted Caroline by phone a few days prior to the visit & soon the painting entitled ‘Mind the Gap’ was born. It was well received in New York as was her poem of the same title. I cannot recommend Caroline highly enough. She’s a fund of talent with great ability in going that extra bit further.

Powerful & Magical Piece of Art
I love art and I’m the privileged owner of Caroline’s ‘Break true’. Caroline has uncannily captured in a most beautiful way, a woman breaking through the ties of her life and reaching for freedom. It’s now a daily reminder of the strength I found within to change my life. A truly powerful and magical piece of art which I will always treasure for many personal reasons. Caroline has many gifts to share with the world and I wish her success in all that she does.

Vibrant & Radiant
Caroline’s use of colour makes even a naked winter tree look vibrant and radiates in any room graced with her art.
Caroline’s ‘Break True’ art piece is so well defined even in it’s title, representing a moment of awakening. It’s a striking work depicting true nature, light and shadow and the courage it takes to push through with authenticity. I’m also the proud owner of Caroline’s artwork & books and she is featured in my own book entitled Dreaming Doors.
