Teaching reviews;

“….She is the sort of teacher who can lift you over a mental barrier and helps yo to rescue bad work and get some value out of it. She is tremendously encouraging. She draws the best out of people come what may…”

Gillian Bowler, excerpt from the Irish Times paper, 29th November 1994.

” Eorna’s workshops are 2 and a half hours of bliss”

Una O Sullivan, Art student and painter.

Work review;

“…Painting is a non-verbal art of course. but like poetry it is an immersive art form, allowing the observer to dream like the artist themselves do. Like poetry it heals the spirit as Eorna’s landscapes do , they bring out the dreamer in us”

Excerpt from Anne Harris, Journalist and former editor of Image Magazine and the Sunday Independent. Opening speech in in Eorna’s 2019 Exhibition in Dublin
