| Leonie King |
|
Leonie King has been a lecturer in printmaking and an organizer of print exhibitions in Galway – in effect she has been a bastion of printmaking in Ireland for the last 30 years. Her work has a personal cultural identity based on the Irish landscape and images, but is also infused with inspiration gathered from her frequent travels to Malaysia, India, Morocco, Italy, France and South America. Out of the West will feature six etchings by Leonie. |

| Harriet Leander |
|
Originally from Helsinki, Harriet was brought up in Stockholm and has spent time in Germany and Switzerland before moving to Ireland in 1991. Harriet is a painter and photographer who recently found inspiration in her daily observations of a scrap yard and the beauty she found in the forms and patterns of decay. Out of the West will feature five photographic prints mounted on Diabond in an edition of 1/5. |

| Lisa Sweeney |
|
Born in 1969, Lisa’s work consists of mixed media painting, drawing and small installation pieces. Integrating everyday materials and found objects into the work, she investigates themes of identity and existence. Lisa’s recent Galway Art Festival show “Magpie’s Attic” was completely sold out, confirming her as an artist to keep an eye on. Out of the West will feature seven mixed media pieces by Lisa.
