Highlanes Gallery marks the 40th anniversary of the death of Irish artist, Nano Reid, with a unique exhibition celebrating her life, work and legacy. Adamantine is a word suggesting something bold, unswerving, powerfully itself, attributes which pertain, not just to Reid’s work, but to the way she lived her life. Born in Drogheda in 1900, she forged her way determinedly through an artistic landscape dominated by males to become one of the most exciting and original artists of her generation, with a rich, brooding, evocative style completely her own.
