2. Jimmy Lawlor was born in Wexford. He now lives in Westport, in the
magnificent West of Ireland. Lawlor has been exhibiting for over 20 years.
His work is based not only on the Irish sense of humour, but on the vivid
realisation that the old way of life will have vanished by our next
generation.
His work takes elements from his surroundings and mixes them with the
people of the place, in their environment and doing what they love best. In
their own way, they have helped create the atmosphere around them,
whether they be farmers, business people, students or otherwise.
