Our first art raffle consists of an original artwork by acclaimed Irish artist Gerard Byrne (pictured).

This special artwork was has been featured on the RTE news & Nationwide Programmes.
The piece is titled “The artist on the roof”. The painting is oil on canvas measuring 120cm x 60cm in size. The artwork was framed by Artisan Framers.
