The artists Katherine Boucher Beug and Mags Geaney have much in common, not least their disregard for convention. Making Faces, their new exhibition at the Lavit Gallery in Cork, showcases their shared fascination with the human face, but also the highly individual approach each takes to portraiture.
A native of Princeton, New Jersey, Boucher Beug studied at Northwestern University in Illinois and at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg, Germany before settling in Cork in 1971. She paints landscapes and still lifes, and makes ceramics and assemblages, but began focusing on portraiture during the Covid lockdowns, which she spent at home in Dunderrow, near Kinsale.
