An Urban Sketcher's Galway

About this book

Galway artist Roisin Cure presents snapshots of life in the City of the Tribes in bold ink and vibrant watercolor. Her sketches show the beautiful details of Galways pubs the musicians and buskers the exquisite medieval stonework the marine environment the vibrant nightlife culture and the local colorful characters. These striking pictures are accompanied by recollections of conversations the artist had while sketching. This book is a unique souvenir of Galway of a city that is famous for the arts and yet has so little in the way of visual art. It is a very timely book released in advance of Galway 2020 when the city celebrates being European Capital of Culture.
