From the grace of a rose to the opulence of a peony, the poise of an iris to the intricacies of hydrangea – Corrina Earlie’s new series of flower portraits showcases her love of colour and light…I don
’t really remember drawing much as a child. Growing up in the countryside my memories are predominantly of time spent outdoors. It wasn’t until secondary school when I took art as its own subject that I discovered I had a real talent for it. I had the encouragement of a wonderful art teacher and we had an amazing art room too. It quickly became my favourite place and subject and I went straight from school to art college in Limerick to study fine art, specifically painting.
I’m very excited to collaborate for the first time with my husband, broadcaster and meditation teacher Dermot Whelan. After a brief talk from me about the work, Dermot will speak about the benefits of creativity and nature in fostering a more peaceful mind. This will be followed by a gentle, balancing yoga class with poses inspired by the flowers and there will be some acupressure too for the final relaxation. I think it will be quite special all happening in among the paintings.
