ARTN'T YOU GLAD YOU DOWNLOADED THIS PODCAST?Of course you are because this week my dynamic and effervescent guest is ARTIST (see what I did) Leah Hewson! Leah is one of Irish Arts Review's top 8 artists under 40 https://www.irishartsreview.com/8-under-40-artists-to-watch/I am one of Irish Farts magazine top 8 fartists under 40 so we were off to a flying start. We met in her colourful studio on the South Quays on a sunny day in Dublin and it was a joy spending time finding out about how she works. Unfortunately for me, Leah was not dressed in an artists smock nor did she carry one of those big paint platters in her hand like you see in cartoons. I hid my disappointment well (my primary school speech and drama classes pay for themselves daily). Since graduating with an honours degree in fine art from IADT, Leah has had three solo exhibitions. Her 2017 show, Scintilla was the culmination of her six month residency at The Royal Hibernian Academy School.Leah's work is collected internationally and she has also sold pieces to the Office of Public Works, The Law Society of Ireland and most excitingly for Leah, the collection of Esther O'Moore Donohoe BSoc Sc (Hons). Esther plans to hang it in her bedroom in her new gaff. Currently, she is preparing for her fourth solo exhibition on the 12th of July in The Hillsboro Fine Art Gallery on Parnell Square. The proof is in the listening so go forth, put your headphones in and enjoy!http://www.leahhewson.comNow, why not treat yourself and follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/estheromd?lang=en I'M FUNNY!Instagram: www.instagram.com/80percentpodcast/ I TAKE NICE PICS.Website: estheromd.com/ I AM COOLEmail: [email protected] I REPLY PROMPTLYSnapchat: estheromd I never Snapchat.
