Galway in Sketchesand Stories

By Róisín Curé

An 'urban sketcher' is one who excels at drawing and painting with quick, masterful strokes what is visible to the eye. An expert sketcher such as R is n Cur deftly sketches on the spot whatever happens to be in front of her, and catches the artist's eye, wherever she may be.

In this beautiful book, local artist R is n Cur captures snapshots of life in the City of the Tribes in bold ink and vibrant watercolour. Her sketches show the beautiful details of Galway's pubs, the musicians and buskers, the exquisite medieval stonework, the marine environment, the vibrant restaurant culture, and the colourful characters.

These striking sketches are accompanied by a memoir of R is n's life in Galway, and the conversations she shared with others around her while she sketched, giving local insights and a quirky first-hand account of the history and legends surrounding the most iconic elements of Galway's urban landscape.

This revised paperback edition of R is n's 2019 book, An Urban Sketcher's Galway, features new sketches and stories, but is infused with R is n's unique style, combining imagery and storytelling.
