Anne Garvey - Biography

My work is primarily inspired by nature and by my own awareness of being part of it, by being immersed in it, inseparable from it, nature as ‘being’,  as both exterior and interior.  The mountain, the water, the flower, the grass, everything is alive, and inseparable from the aliveness of me, the observer and the observed.

The four pieces shown are depictions of one small corner of West Cork, Ireland,  This corner goes by the name of Garranes, or Bracluain, Aillihies, Castletownbere. I live half my time in Garranes and half in Carlow.

In recent years I have participated in group shows in Eigse (Carlow), Terenure College (Dublin), Bere Art Gallery (Castletownbere), and Steps Gallery (Rathfarnam, Dublin).  

I am self taught in painting.

My formal educational qualifications include Ph.D (Ed. Psych.)
