Rosemary Warren

Rosemary Warren is an established professional artist, who paints exact, keenly observed works in watercolour and acrylic, with a strong emphasis on design and composition. Her work is mainly influenced by personal experiences and by her immediate environment, on the shores of Carlingford Lough.

Her work is included in The Irish Arts Council Louth County Collection and in private collections in France, U.S.A. and U.A.E.  Commissions include a 42ft mural for the Council Chambers, Louth County Council. 

​

In 2013 and 2017, Rosemary held solo exhibitions at The Gallery, The Club, Abu Dhabi U.A.E.  and in 2016 at Le Toque Gallery, France. She has held eight solo exhibitions in Ireland. A former art lecturer, research supervisor and director of Art Education at St Patrick’s College of Education DCU, Rosemary now holds art workshops and in-service courses for teachers.

“I am fascinated by how highlights, shadows, reflections and refractions created by light can effect and enhance the composition, colour and vibrancy of everyday  objects and  scenes.  I especially like to observe and paint the effects of light on and through  glass objects, on water and on surfaces. I try to share and convey my joy, pleasure  and  fascination with light with those who see my work. 

​

Special moments in my life have provided inspiration for the paintings in this exhibition. These light filled moments have been influenced by my family and friends, my personal experiences , my interests and my personal belongings. I really hope that  you enjoy viewing my paintings as much as I have enjoyed painting them…”
