It will be in the Pop-Up Shop in Ballymena’s Tower centre. All paintings exhibited, prints and cards will be for sale. Opening hours will be posted nearer the time. Depending on demand, members will be able to exhibit two and perhaps three paintings for a hanging fee of £5. Sold paintings may be replaced at no extra cost. All members who exhibit will be expected to take part in the selling of items in the shop. A rota timetable will be made available for members to confirm a slot in the shop. Paintings may be of any medium and must be • ready to hang • copyright free • recent work, if possible, carried out in 2021 / 22. • new to any Vis Art Exhibition The paintings will also be exhibited on our Face Book page and so members should have taken a scan or a good photograph before getting their items framed, as glass will prevent getting a suitable image for the website and Face Book. All information regarding the artist, medium, size, title, and price of work must be given to Maria Hunter, the Exhibitions Secretary, on or before the 16th March. Proforma’s for this information are available on Wednesdays at the meetings in the Golf Cub. Details of any of the items above will be added nearer the 28th March. |

I started painting over 30 years ago, attending classes with Suzanne Forth in Ballymena, Chris Dearden and Helen Condy in Queens University Belfast and obtained GCSE and A level in Art.
I am a full member of the Pastel Society of Ireland and the Ulster Society of Women Artists (USWA) and have qualified for a diploma with USWA. Over the years I have been given many awards for my work.
I have tutored a wide range of people, from Primary school pupils, GCSE and A level pupils to adult classes, as in Vis Art.
I do demonstrations and workshops for art groups in Oils, Watercolour and Pastels.

I studied Fine Craft Design (Ceramics) at the University of Ulster in York Street in Belfast. After graduating I had a bone china business until I began my family.
Interior design was my next creative interest until I started painting again in 2014.
I have participated in several group and solo exhibitions and there is another solo one coming up April 2020 at Oriel Gallery in Clotworthy Art Centre in Antrim.
I am current President of Ulster Society of Women Artists (USWA).
I teach drawing and painting classes in Clotworthy as well as, of course, in Vis Art. I also do demonstrations for art groups of oil painting using palette knives.
