Originally built as a Steam Bakery in 1906, it was used as a boathouse from the early sixties to the late eighties. The property is owned by Gerard and Elizabeth Timmons who decided in 2010 to use the space for artistic purposes. The property makes a wonderful art gallery as it has lots of natural light, high ceilings and plenty of wall space.

They exhibit fine contemporary art and ceramics from a range of locally and nationally based artists including:

Mark Eldred – Mark’s paintings are inspired by the seasons as they are happening in the landscape. The change between Winter, Spring, Summer & Autumn with all the diffenences between colours, textures smells and mood are all a constant inspiration to him.

Dee Pieters – Large skies, reflected light, cliffs, the changing moods of the coastline, mountains and hidden lakes, bog lands, heather in sunlight – all inspire Dee.

Nadia Corridan – Nadia’s work is primarily oil on canvas and it holds elements of both figurative and landscape. To avoid conveying such heavy representations of a subject matter, Nadia’s practice focuses on painting in the simplest of forms. She allows for each layer to be seen, the raw canvas, the pencil marks and oil paint which give the illusion of a water-colour painting rather than an oil painting.

Shane Johnson – Shane has been painting since the 1990s in a unique, quirky style derived from his training in Illustration and Graphic Design, and originally inspired by the undulating landscapes, busy coastline and colourful towns of his native Cork.

The Boathouse Gallery also exhibit work from Geraldine O’Riordan, Danny Smith, Claudio Viscardi, John Lawrence, El Toss, Louise McKeon, June Matthews, Julian Smith, Kira O’Brien, Siobhain Steele, Geraldine Leonard and many More.

“We truly believe Art has a great power, no matter whether it takes the form of a play, music, fibre, a photograph, a sculpture, a batik, drawing or painting it still allows people to express themselves and communicate with others.”

Elizabeth Timmons
