Patrick Graham (b. 1943). The exhibition is curated by John Daly, Hillsboro Fine Art,

common ground shared by them in their artistic practice as well as the versatility of
contemporary painting.

and small-scale seascapes by Eddie Kennedy and new paintings by Patrick Graham.
A selection of drawings and sketches (from sketchbooks) by Patrick Graham are
