‘Portraits in Bloom’ is a creative art project involving Dundalk Active retirement Group, inviting older adults to explore the beauty and symbolism of native flowers through drawing and painting. Over a series of engaging workshops led by facilitator Shauna Swords participants will be guided in learning and developing new artistic techniques – from initial sketching to use of vibrant colour and expressive brushwork. The project focuses  not only on artistic growth but also on fostering confidence, curiosity and a renewed sense of purpose.

The project will culminate in the creation of a bold and joyful collection of large-scale flower paintings. These final works will be exhibited publicly, celebrating the voices , talents and continued vitality of older adults through the rich metaphor of nature in bloom.
