Lucy works from her studio in Bangor printing on Irish Linen. Her images are inspired by landscape, flora fauna and fleeting observations. Having exhibited nationally and internationally over the last 15 years she has developed her practice to print on non-conventional materials like metal, which has given her major commissions, especially in health care settings. Lucy received a Master's degree in Fine Art and currently holds the position of Artist in residence in HMP Maghaberry.
A childhood immersed in art and nature led to artist Eimear Maguire establishing her own creative brand Dollybirds Art in 2013. Her paintings are a celebration of the diverse natural world found throughout Ireland and of many experiences outdoors.
Each painting is the culmination of time spent in nature developing ideas and many hours of sketching before everything is brought to life in the studio with colour. Created entirely by hand using techniques which have taken a lifetime to perfect. Images are painted in meticulous detail and tell their own unique story of nature. They each celebrate the little things that mark the changing of seasons as well as the birds, plants, trees and wildlife we are so lucky to have here in Ireland.
In 2020, the brilliant poet Colin Hassard became the first Writer-in-Residence of the Duncairn. You may remember him from his performances of spoken word on our stage and his presenting of the Duncairn Podcast and various In Focus short documentaries. From Banbridge, Co. Down, he was Runner-Up in the Seamus Heaney Award for New Writing in 2018 and shortlisted for the Aurivo North West Words Poetry Competition in 2019 and we are proud to stock his much loved collection, ‘The Age of the Microwave Dinner.”
