Show Notes
Welcome to episode two of The Irish Art podcast with Andrew, Attracta and Sarah Eva Manson. This is a venture that we have wanted to do for a long time and have now decided to jump right in headfirst and learn as we go. We will let you know tips and tricks and what works and what was a total flop so that you can make informed decisions going forward and hopefully you will get inspired and gain the confidence to take the first step on your creative journey.
In this episode, we discuss our preparations for submitting to the RHA and whether you make work to fit the next submission or you use the submission as a notch in the timeline of which this body of work is developing, whether applying for grants is difficult for a reason and how one should go about it.

More from IRISH ART - A CONVERSATIONAL PODCAST BETWEEN THREE ARTISTS ANDREW, ATTRACTA AND SARAH EVA MANSON
This is episode two of a two-part interview with visual artist Maria Jordan OReilly. Part one can be found here.
Maria Jordan OReilly is a late-emerging artist in her sixties. Her work is quite eclectic coming from a place of emotion and expresses that through using colour and texture, a mixture of acrylic pouring, mixed media, markers and watercolour. The subject matter of her pieces very from quite dark ideology to very light-hearted and almost whimsical depictions.

In this episode, we talk with the director of the RHA, Patrick Murphy. The Royal Hibernian Academy is an artist-based and artist-oriented institution in Ireland, founded in Dublin in 1823.
In this episode we talk to the incredible artist Francis Tansey who is a professional artist, an international painter best known for his work in geometric, hardedge colour field with op art elements. Tansey studied in the NCAD and is interested in the development of colour in an abstract sense. His influences include Bauhaus, Kandinsky & the colour theory master Johannes Itten. Tansey’s research focuses on how colour is perceived as an international language. In 1985 he became the first artist in residence at the Butler Gallery in Co. Kilkenny, where his brightly coloured geometric acrylic paintings caused great interest.
