Nine Artists are exhibiting they are Jenny Andersson, Anne Crinion, June Hesnan, Angela Kelliher, Sheila Keating, Teresa Mc Cole, Mary Murphy, Christy O’Reilly, and June Smith. 10% of all sales go to Meath Palliative Care. Dean Robert Jones read the poem below at the launch, written by one of the artists Angela Kelliher.
There once was a lady from Trim
There once was a lady from Trim
Who started to paint on a whim
She puts on some shows
With the friends that she knows
And exhibits their painting therein
For pleasure they started to paint
But discovered Picasso’s they ‘aint
So they keep the day job
To make a few bob
To buy the brushes and paint.
So come all you good people of Trim
I dare you go out on a limb
Buy a painting or sketch
Of the Town you love best
And your children inherit a gem.
Angela Kelliher
