Karl Fitzgerald – Selected Works
AN EXHIBITION of selected works by Karl Fitzgerald opened on Friday at the Watergarden Gallery in Thomastown, and the show will continue until November 2.
Living in County Kilkenny, Karl studied art for three years on the KCAT Art Courses and then went on to join the Studio in 2002. His work has been sought-after for a variety of commissions including a series of painted glass windows installed in the Quiet Room at Carlow Regional Hospital.
Karl paints freely using colours taken directly from his travels and landscapes seen in Greece, Tenerife and America. Driven by a strong work ethic, Karl has a prolific output, which has resulted in several recent sold- out shows.
