A graduate of NCAD, Dublin and having spent time in NSCAD, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Noreen Walshe's professional practice took root in her studio near Navan, between the Hill of Tara and the ancient site of Newgrange.

In an area steeped in early history and mythology, the Boyne Valley, her preferences lie in the world of nature and through the media of oils, acrylics and watercolour, her canvasses and pages fill with her response to subject matter from home and abroad.

Located in Slane's Arty Quarter, Pat, a local artist, paints and exhibits his work in a friendly, inviting studio. Pieces include a broad selection of oil paintings and drawings. 

Seascapes and cityscapes are included, as are figures and a variety of themed works. 

Feel free to browse and chat with no obligation. You are also invited to view his extensive Adventures Travelogue

Skylight Gallery welcomes visitors to view or to purchase from over fifty original paintings in oil and watercolour. On view are landscapes, seascapes, interiors and still life, many of these are of local scenes. While we are fortunate to have heritage galleries in the county showing valued works of historic and text book nature for exhibition only, many appreciate owning an original painting for their home, office or work reception. Resident artists are Dinah Berrill and Siobhan Sweetman. Skylight Gallery also has a variety of wood turned exhibits in native timber by Peter Donagh.

A vibrant collection of shawls, scarves, wall hangings & artwork all handmade by Caoimhe Tuthill from her home studio in Slane.

Caoimhe's work is made using the ancient craft of wet felting & each piece is unique & one of a kind. Her love of nature, the ancient sites of the Boyne Valley & Ireland's wild & magical land is very much evident in Caoimhe's work.
