Vanna Shanash-Turner ; pastel and pencil drawings.

We are delighted to host Vanna's first exhibition of her artwork . 

Vanna Shanash-Turner came to Ireland from the U.K in 2006. This proved to be a life-changing experience for her. Prior to that she believed she couldn't draw . Then she went along to an evening class in Art for Beginners in Loughrea...

Vanna has no formal training and is self-taught . The natural world is her greatest inspiration. She strives to capture the essence of each sibject, and to connect the viewer to the beauty and transience of Nature.
