having just made her RHA Annual Exhibition in the big city, 
Greystones’ Lisa McCleary is about to host her first solo exhibition back in the old country.

Hailing from that hotbed of creativity known as Lower Kindlestown Road, Lisa McCleary has been based in the US ever since she could afford the plane fare.

It was back in July 2019 that McCleary had her first solo show, at Manhattan’s Gallery MC, whilst last year, Mexico City’s Shelf Gallery succumbed, followed by the Irish Consulate in New York City plus a nomination for the Irish Echo Arts And Culture Award 2022 and the semi-finals of the Smithsonian Museum’s National Portrait Gallery’s Outwin Boochever competition.
