Retrospective Exhibition of paintings by Patita Bourke Nicholson of Enniscoe House, Mayo.
Patita Bourke Nicholson, of Enniscoe House, painted family and country life in the late 20th century. She grew up in Ballycastle at Heathfield House, and while married to Jack Nicholson, she moved to Enniscoe House, Crossmolina. Her work is both personal and of historical significance as it documents the activities in and around the house, family life and the landscape of North Mayo from the 1930’s to the 1980s.
This exhibition has been funded by The Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media as part of the Regional Museum Exhibition Scheme.
