Through my eyes” is a collection of paintings from Jennifer Fitzgerald using two of her favourite mediums, Ink/Watercolour and Oil.
When Jennifer moved to Kenmare nearly 5 years ago, she was amazed at how her art started to take a completely different direction. It was the energy of Kenmare, the stunning landscape and friends that were made, that she feels transformed her style and subject matter.
Streetscapes, landscapes and the indigenous animals of Kenmare and surrounding areas had become her main subject matter.
She feels her painting has become more confident, loose and energetic which was always her goal as an artist.
In this exhibition, jennifer tries to convey the energy this town has given her and to say thank you.

Tolkien explores the formative years of the orphaned author as he finds friendship, love and artistic inspiration among a group of fellow outcasts at school. This takes him into the outbreak of World War I, which threatens to tear the "fellowship" apart. All of these experiences would inspire Tolkien to write his famous Middle-Earth novels.

This spectacular audio-visual Show A Salute to the Crooners sees Dave Lawlor, one of Ireland’s greatest singers pay tribute to the songs of Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, Matt Monro, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Elvis Presley, Engelbert Humperdinck, Perry Como and Dean Martin. Not only do you witness the crooner classics come to life with Dave’s velvet voice but see the fabulous portrayal of images of all the artists on a large circular screen.
With a career spanning over thirty years, Dave Lawlor, star of the highly acclaimed ‘Reeling in the Showband Years’ Show was chosen by music promotions company Linden Productions to front this visually stunning show. Only an entertainer of Lawlor’s exceptional calibre could pay homage – accurately, respectfully, and with the appropriate humility – to so many musical icons in one show. Acknowledged by his contemporaries as one of Ireland’s best singers, Dave has received many accolades to date, including 3 top ten hits in the Irish Charts. Dave’s vibrant stage presence will bring the audience through the great crooner songbook and some of the best know hits of the twentieth century such as Born Free, New York, New York, Portrait of my Love, The Wonder of You, Sway, Please Release Me, Moon River, That’s Amore, My Way and many more. With a penchant for sentiment, romance and charm, Dave will enthral in this visually stunning audio-visual show and take you on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, superbly enhanced by the rare images of the stars. As Red Hurley enthused about A Salute to the Crooners, ‘Lawlor stands in the shoes of Giants…….and they’re a perfect fit’.
