Lights of the city shrouded by mists of winter

THE Glen in Cork is a stark contrast to the Dublin suburb that Patricia Burns grew up in. But it is on her daily route to work and is the subject of her exhibition Hinterland: The Glen Paintings, on show in Triskel Christchurch.

Burns graduated in painting from Dublin Institute of Technology in 1986 but didn’t work as an artist for ten years. A move to Cork saw Burns join the Backwater Studios before undertaking a H Dip in the Crawford College of Art and Design.
