Celina’s Town

acrylics and fine marker pen on a small canvas board

Artist Statement: Celina’s Town is an amalgamation or collection of memories of fortressed towns and walled cities across Europe, which I have visited either physically or through history books and then held in my imagination over the years.  Ávila, Carcassonne, Tallinn, or Saint Malo come to mind. If walls could talk, then the walls of these cities would have so many stories to tell. Celina’s Town has finally found its home in South Korea, where I imagine the town horizons must look very different indeed.

Nuala McEvoy is a self-taught artist. She started painting at the age of fifty and since then has been in daily contact with her paintbrush and palette. Initially shy to show her work, she is proud that her work now appears online in places such as Red Ogre Review, Quibble Lit, Free Flash Fiction, Londemere Lit, Underbelly Press, Suburban Witchcraft and Heimat Review. She was recently interviewed by The Madrid Review about her artistic process, and in September, she was the featured artist in Does it Have Pockets. Her artwork will soon appear in The Chestnut Review, Acropolis Journal, Kitchen Table Quarterly, Peatsmoke Journal, Through Lines and Ink in Thirds. She has two exhibitions of her work in the city in Germany where she currently lives.
