“The visual harmonies of Joan Finnegan’s paintings stem from the elegantly inter-locking forms that make up their compositions and her judicious sense of colour.  She works from specific sources (…) but rather than illustrating her sources, she uses them as points of departure to devise her own pleasing visual constructions.”

Aidan Dunne, Art Critic, Irish Times

Connemara Chroma

Solo exhibition 2019 for ‘Galway Showcase’ which was inspired by the beauty and colours of Connemara.

Joan Finnegan is a painter who is inspired by the world around her.  Her paintings originate from all sources; from photographs taken of the Great Plains, to an image of an old stepwell in India, to the environment around her daily. Read more about Joan’s professional work below.
