Eve Parnell Art Exhibition, National maritime Museum

The Eve Parnell Art Exhibition ‘Constant Companions’, the National Maritime Museum (Forum Marinum), Turku, ran from 30 May -28 August 2015.

Eve Parnell studied painting at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, leading to a BA degree in fine art in 2002. She has exhibited in London, Dublin, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Berlin, Burgwedel and Rome. On 21 May 2015, Eve Parnell’s beautiful drawing of St Brigid was presented as a gift from St Patrick’s Church in Belfast to their Royal Highnesses, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall during their visit.

Eve’s work over the years has had a conceptual content as well as a strong technical delivery. This is equally true of this exhibition. She welcomes unconventional exhibiting locations in which to show her work as these challenge the viewer to question and to reflect on the work. This exhibition will be on board the Suomen Joutsen clipper ship docked at the Forum quayside and is of a series of still-life drawings of pigeons. The exhibition is supported by Culture Ireland and the Embassy of Ireland in Finland.
