Event summary

Highlights

Collection of paintings featuring Irish Midlands boglands and industrial heritage
Works by local artist and former educator Esther Lambe
Hosted in the newly-refurbished Fiesta Hall in Kilcormac

‘Memory in the Landscape’ showcases the work of Esther Lambe, an artist originally from Derrydolney whose paintings are deeply rooted in the rural life and landscapes of County Offaly. The exhibition features a range of atmospheric works, including bogland scenes, depictions of industrial heritage, and expressive portraits. Lambe’s artistic style developed significantly after she began formal tuition in 2010, following a career as a teacher and school principal.

The exhibition is held in Kilcormac’s Fiesta Hall, a venue that has recently undergone refurbishment to support community and cultural events. Supported by the Offaly Local Development Company, the exhibition serves as a celebration of regional history and communal memory. The collection is intended to act as a touchstone between the artist’s personal experiences and the viewers' own connections to the Midlands landscape.

Visitors can view the collection from its launch in late August through to its conclusion on October 22, 2026. The works on display reflect both the professional growth of the artist and her dedication to recording the people and places that shaped her life.
