"Reimagining Ireland" Exhibition by Avy Loftus

'Reimagining Ireland' is not just an exhibition; it's a reflection of Avy's 25-year artistic and personal journey. It's also a heartfelt tribute to her husband, who annually guided their family through the enchanting landscapes, customs, and traditions of his Irish hometown. This year, Avy celebrates her remarkable 25th year as a batik artist, and she's excited to welcome you to her forthcoming exhibition at the Montréal Art Center and Museum.
