Coffee leads to artist collaboration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Early morning coffee \u201cstop-and-chats\u201d outside Ode in Navan\u2019s Market Square has lead to a unique collaboration between two of Navan\u2019s creatives. Conversations about art and culture lead to painter Annette Smyth asking writer Richard Ball to compose poems in response to her latest series of artworks.<\/p>\n

The paintings are based on reflections in colourful antique-shop windows and evoke a wide range of memories, emotions and feelings. Richard Ball, a popular teacher in St. Patrick\u2019s Classical School in Navan for many years, has written wonderful, dynamic poetry to sit alongside seven of these artworks.<\/p>\n

The \u201cWindow Series\u201d paintings and accompanying poems, as well as many other pieces will be on show at Annette\u2019s first solo exhibition later this month in the Signal Arts Centre in Bray. The show titled \u201cYesterday, I saw the Earth Beautiful\u201d runs from 27th April to 10th May with the Official Opening on Sunday 3rd May at 3pm.<\/p>\n
