First Solo 2026 | Eilis McCann at Droichead Arts Centre

Event Details

Curated by Vivienn Byrne.

Eilish McCann, an artist based in County Cavan, works in oil and acrylic on canvas and paper. Her paintings move between attentive observation of everyday life and imaginative reinterpretations of classical painting. Don’t Throw Bouquets takes its title from a Sinatra song, a rendition from the musical Oklahoma!, sung by her father about the house—a tune that resonates through this body of work, reflecting the transitional states of grief and aging.

The artist has returned to her border hometown in Cavan after many years away and has received the Professional Artist Award 2025 from Cavan Arts, Cavan County Council.
