The main inspiration for the purchase of the cottage was through its previous
owner, Frank Russell, who created in his 15 years of ownership, a magical
home and garden much of which has been retained today. He kindly loaned
a few of his works for display in the cottage for guests to enjoy, which
includes a lovely West Cork landscape featured below.
Other works are a varied collection of amateur and more professional compositions
purchased with the cottage in mind over the last few years. These do not
include, as yet, any from family members who include various artists and
designers - we are expecting some donations to come through this year!
We have included information on each artist where we have details, in
case you are interested in their work. We are not, however, in any way
representing them in an official capacity at all.

Frank Russell Frank kindly donated this work to us for display at the cottage, having previously been exhibited at the Cork Vision Centre, a gallery space located in the city centre and venue to a variety of exhibitions. Frank sadly passed away in July 2009, having left his beloved cottage and Ireland a few years beforehand to return home to Washington DC. |

J P Rooney From the artist’s Dark Sky series, this painting depicts life at the close of the day in a western fishing village, very typical of this Irish artist’s work. |

Timothy Gent Inspired by a view along the beach towards Lytham St Annes in Lancashire, England, this painting intends to express the wonderful sense of light and atmosphere of the beach, sculpted by the Irish sea and the elements. |
