Location: Butler Gallery Learning & Engagement Centre
In celebration of International Women’s Day Butler Gallery is very pleased to present the work of artists Philippa Bayliss, Margaret Becker, Caroline Couchman and Maria Levinge. We are delighted to recognise the achievements of these four artists by showcasing their work in two of our Collection Galleries. The artists, all based in the South East of the country, were introduced to Butler Gallery by John Kirwan who has had longstanding relationships with these artists, selling their work from The Mermaid Gallery in Inistioge.
Philippa Bayliss’s lush garden paintings are beautifully rendered and full of buoyant colour. Margaret Becker’s prints demonstrate strong graphic mark-making that capture the personality of many a blackbird. Caroline Couchman uncovers the unique characteristics of a selection of horses, birds and fish, all skilfully executed in ceramic and bronze. Maria Levinge introduces us to beloved landscapes that perfectly capture the wilds of Connemara, Mayo and Wexford.
Each of these artists are immersed in and inspired by nature and wildlife leading to the creation of exceptional works that delight us the viewer.
