ELAINE BEVERLEY TYRRELL’S WORK AND HER BACKGROUND


ELAINE BEVERLEY TYRRELL’S PAINTINGS:

Elaine Beverley draws her abstract designs freehand using the inspiration of the moment in a

spontaneous fashion. She then gets her brushes and fills in the colours one by one. She enjoys listening

to the reaction of different people who view her finished work. Her work explores a particular theme in

a consistent fashion. No two people interpret each painting in the same manner. Different individuals

perceive different things in her work.

Elaine has exhibited her work at the Peoples’ Art Exhibition, Dublin during the years 1999 and 2002.

She has also held her own one-woman exhibition in 2001 in Crumlin, Dublin, Ireland, which is the

locality where she is based.


ELAINE B. TYRRELL’S BACKGROUND

Elaine was born in Dublin on 20/06/1958 of Dublin parents. She was a globetrotter as a young child because her father Ivan was a “deep sea captain” in the Irish Merchant Marine.

At age 13 having submitted the entry of an Anti-Litter Poster to the Irish nation-wide Texaco Children’s Art Competition she won the award of the distinction of “Highly Commended” in the Texaco Children’s Art Competition. She clearly remembers that when she got the written notification of her success her mother Hazel told her delightedly that she “saw stars lighting” in Elaine Beverley’s eyes! The then Lord Mayor of Dublin, Ireland presented her with her prize at a function in the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery, Dublin. At the age of 16 she performed very well academically in a then Irish nation-wide examination called the Intermediate Certificate getting a number of top grades out of the 12 subjects she studied. Because she wanted to go to university, Elaine Beverley Tyrrell then decided to concentrate on her more academic school subjects such as History, Latin and French to mention a few of the 8 subjects she studied for the national “Leaving Certificate”.
