Sarah, 16, sketches way to her first exhibition with Tubridy masterpiece

A transition year student has landed her first exhibition thanks to her uncanny sketch of broadcaster Ryan Tubridy.

Sarah Ryan, a 16-year-old from just outside Wexford town, was interviewed by Tubridy on his 2FM show yesterday after the Late Late Show presenter admitted he was bowled over by the pencil drawing she had sent in of him.

The interview in turn prompted Frank O’Dea, the gallery owner from Balla Bán Art Gallery in the Westbury Mall off Grafton St in Dublin, to offer to showcase some of the teenager’s other work.
