Westport artist to put work on exhibition


Anton McNulty

AN art exhibition by The Mayo News cartoonist Pat Treacy will go on display in the Clew Bay Hotel in Westport from this Saturday, August 8 and will run for three weeks.
The successful Westport-born artist work has received critical acclaim and has been described as provocative, compelling, quirky and distinct. As well as being a weekly cartoon contributor to The Mayo News Pat’s work has hung in several locations in England, France the USA and also across Ireland, with many of Westport’s well-known hostelries also have his paintings on display.
Pat explained that he has been drawing since he was ‘knee high’ and studied art in Galway where he graduated with a diploma in fine art with credits in 1984. Between 1985 and 2000 worked as a graphic designer for Cashin Print and Berry Print Group. His ability to illustrate was a great bonus to both companies. In 2000 he started his own business illustrating for the building and pharmaceutical industry while also designing logos, brochures and books.
The exhibition will be officially opened by Mid West Radio broadcaster, Liamy McNally at 9pm this Saturday in the Clew Bay Hotel
