‘I couldn’t make this up in my wildest dreams — and they can be wild’

The dramatic paintings of west Clare seascape artist Ann Daly enjoyed a starring role in TV drama 'Smother' 

Ann Daly.

Its plotline may have kept viewers on tenterhooks, as they followed the twists and turns of RTÉ’s Smother. But one Munster artist was also watching the screen to see her own double debut on the hit show.

Because not only was Clare woman Ann Daly an extra in the series, the landscape artist’s paintings were chosen to adorn the walls of the many houses used on location for filming.
