We are grateful to our ongoing support from Laois/Offaly Creative Youth Partnership, Laois Arts Office, LOETB, Mountrath Development Association and Youth Theatre Ireland. Best of luck to all our performers tonight, you will dazzle!

Some more photos from a wonderful evening celebrating talented young photographers and the townspeople of Mountrath. Thanks so much to Laois Arts  and funding from Laois County Council, Arts Council, RTE for Culture Night and LOETB Local Creative Youth Partnership.

All photos are for sale and proceeds will be used to support the ongoing development of youth arts in Mountrath.

Please email mountrathyt@gmail.com if interested! MYT will exhibit the photos again over the coming weeks...so watch this space.

I have always been fascinated by Mermaids, are they real?, are they a figment of our imagination?, or maybe they do reside out there in underwater palaces hidden away in the deepest canyons of the Atlantic Ocean.

Living by the sea with its moods and mysteries, has inspired the addition of mermaids in my undersea paintings. To me, they symbolise beauty, power, freedom, agility and vulnerability.

Hiding amongst the great kelp forests they offer a portrayal of harmony between human life and nature. The element of water gives me a sense of healing and protection, and most importantly the potential for transformation.

Mermaids, although sometimes considered to be caught between multiple dichotomies; human and animal, water and land, freedom and limitation, to this artist offer a link between these opposites.

Check out some of Barbara’s Mermaid image here and you can buy them here.

Welcome to our new website - after a lot of hard work it has finally arrived in all its shiny cyber glory. MY Creative Space will not just be doing amazing stuff at their headquarters in Mountrath but there will be a lot of inter-action through the website as well.

We have loads of info about the space and, utilising the best responsive technology, you can also see everything on phones a lot easier - so happy days all round!

Thanks to everyone who have helped me along the way to get to this and to Mike McCarthy at Creactive Studios for all his help.
