TUESDAY SPED out to Stillorgan to enjoy an award-winning exhibition. A year ago Open House staged a nationwide competition inviting artists to submit six slides of their work. The judges selected one supremely gifted artist out of the thousands who entered. Enniskillen born artist Claire Falconer was pick of the bunch. Her prize was a six-week exhibition at the Abode Gallery, a one thousand pound bursary (from Abode) and she has also had her paintings framed. On opening night the red dots spoke volumes. By the time I arrive a host of Claire's watercolour self portraits wore red.
