Egan has been with the Solomon since 2006 and has previously exhibited in Ireland, Wales, the United States, France and Singapore. She studied under the traditional classical system at the National College of Art & Design from 1963 to 1967 and later was assistant to the well-known Breton sculptor Professor Yann Goulet RHA for 10 years during which time she simultaneously developed her own style of work.

Egan draws from a wide variety of subjects for inspiration and is very talented in both the art of painting and sculpture.  She lives and works at her studio near Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin which overlooks the sea and frequently goes on trips to the west coast of Ireland and Donegal - so naturally the sea is a huge inspiration.  Egan’s seascapes are atmospheric and moody with dark grey skies and angry seas, thus capturing the wild nature of the Irish coast.

Also included in this exhibition are figurative paintings, still lives and landscapes. Egan’s figurative paintings are quite subdued in colour and have an air of mystery about them. In contrast to this Egan creates canvases brimming with vibrant colour when she paints still life and landscapes. There also is a selection of bronze figurative sculptures included in this exhibition.
