Fair Head to Mussenden summer art exhibition blog post cover image with thumbnails of the 15 paintings in the collection

Summer Exhibition 2026

I'm delighted to share that my new Summer Art Exhibition 'Fair Head to Mussenden', a celebration of the spectacular coastline I feel lucky to call home, is now open!

This collection of original mixed media paintings follows the Causeway Coast from Fair Head to Mussenden Temple, capturing the dramatic cliffs, golden beaches, rolling countryside and iconic landmarks that make the North Coast of Ireland so unique. Every painting begins outdoors, where I spend time sketching, observing and immersing myself in the landscape before returning to my Portrush studio to create the finished artwork.

My aim is to create paintings that capture the atmosphere, texture and spirit of a place rather than simply recording what I see. Using layered mixed media techniques, each original artwork is a personal response to the landscapes that have shaped my life and continue to inspire my creative practice.

The exhibition is in my new gallery above Troggs Surf Store at 88 Main Street, Portrush. You can access it via Troggs. Running from 10th July to 31st August 2026 the gallery is open every day from 10am to 6pm.

You can view more about each painting by clicking on the images below or view the full collection here. Thank you so much for your interest.

Best wishes,

Frankie
