Shaws Nationwide Artist in Carlow

Do you rememeber the Shaw’s radio advert from years ago? The one with the catch-phrase ‘Shaws – almost nationwide’, that one.

Well, they're no longer 'almost' they are fully nationwide. And now, I too can claim to be nationwide after my feature on the RTE series of that title. It's fitting then, that my art is being displayed in Shaw's windows during this year’s Carlow Arts Festival (2018).

Shaw’s is a family owned business in its fourth generation since Henry Shaw first opened its doors in 1864. Many Carlovians have grown up with Shaw’s department store being at the heart of their shopping experience.

In October 2018, following the publication of my book ‘Seven C’s to Calm – Reclaiming your Anxiety-free Self’, I was featured on RTE’s Nationwide, a popular prime-time television show-casing news-worthy story’s from around Ireland.

Thanks to reporter Helen McInerney, my artwork was featured along with my books and reflexology therapy.

Thanks also to Shaw’s department store in Carlow for their kind invitation to exhibit my art work once again in their window on Tullow Street, during the Carlow Arts Festival 2018.

The pieces on display will be mostly from my art collection entitled ‘The Sacred Lives of Trees’ which many are familiar with from my exhibits at Carlow Library and beyond.
