The starting point for Maeve McCarthy RHA recent work is a return to where she grew up in Glenageary, Co Dublin. While her previous work, Kerry Nighttime Landscapes were small in scale and executed in traditional gesso, tempera and oils, these large atmospheric charcoal drawings are on a new scale, though continuing a nocturne theme. Childhood memory is recalled, particularly of her grandmother, Mumsie (Elsie), who shared the family house. Elsie grew up on a farm in Co. Down and for 10 years was a schoolteacher in the Glens of Antrim before moving to Dublin in 1923.
