  1. Nice to meet you Polly :) I find that we have much in common as artists even though we use a different medium. I especially connected with your post about the artist's statement.

    Could you add some pictures of your work to your blog? I for one, would love to see them.

  2. Hi Polly,
    It's so refreshing to find Irish women in this directory. I was born in Carrickfergus, brought to Canada when I was young. I think being Irish is truly in your blood. There is a longing for the sights and sounds of Irish country living. My father came from a farming family and the homestead is still there in Nutts Corners. I would love to go back and visit family in the South and North, one day I will.

  3. I was in Ireland for the first time last year. From Cork to the Burrens and back along the coast. I think your blog is wonderful--so clear and honest. And your work is amazing. I want to come back to Ireland so I can see it in person!

  4. Thank you to all who have commented on my blog, I'm a bit behind with everything, I didn't even know people were making comments. Any one who wants to visit my studio here is more than welcome, I would be delighted to see all of you. My work is starting to gather momentum again after a barren period of time. I am painting and investigating. My main blog is trying to be dedicated to my art practice, but the other blog polly-donnellan.blogspot.com is more light hearted and about my life. Drop in on me please.... you're welcome.
