Baboró Exhibition- Solo | Engage Art Studios

Our Day Out (2021)

 Imagine a big, vibrant city where you can do all kinds of fun things, and where there is always somewhere interesting to go and something exciting to do! You could watch a fantastic parade, go to the aquarium, (you might find yourself snorkeling at the top of the shark tank) or go up on the huge Ferris Wheel with your cool granny!

In this series of paintings for children by Jennie O’Connell, we follow Moya and her friends and family as they explore their imaginary city through the seasons.

This exhibition of lively and joyful water colour and digital paintings will be enjoyed by children of all ages. They will love to look closely to find all the quirky details.

‘Our Day Out’ was commissioned by Baboró International Arts Festival for Children as part of a new partnership with Engage Art Studios. See some of the pictures from this exhibition below!

The Stairlift Ascends (2020) Illustrator

During lockdown, an unlikely heroine emerged – Helen O’Rahilly’s granny! in this book, published by O’Brien Press, we are treated to the tweets Helen posted during her time with her grandmother. At once humorous, nostalgic and poignant, Jennie O’Connell’s illustrations are the perfect accompaniment.
