Following a Trail of Breadcrumbs | Caitriona Sweeney at Garter Lane Arts Centre

For this exhibition I have chosen a selection of the original final artwork from my children’s picture book, A Galway Fairytale (published by The O’Brien Press).

As well as the final pieces, I’ve included some of the bits and pieces that don’t usually get seen; snatches and snippets from my sketchbook, preliminary research, character development, colour ideas… In A Galway Fairytale, the characters go on a journey or quest – here’s a peak at my illustrator/author journey of the making of this picture book.
