Art by Helen Farrell
Inspired by Loughcrew and Dowth.
Helen Farrell has a broad interest in visual arts. She works in watercolours, acrylics, oils, print and mixed media. She often takes a stone symbol or pattern as a starting point and allows her work to develop from there. Helen is originally from Co. Meath where the cairns at Loughcrew and the wonderful passage tombs of the Boyne Valley have inspired her work.
