'Paths That Bring Us Together' by Ciara Barry

Paths That Bring Us Together captures the gentle light and rolling greens of the Falls Park on a summer’s day. The shadows stretch long across the grass, and wildflowers bloom quietly in the corners, untouched and unbothered. The painting evokes not just the beauty of nature, but the presence of movement, of people passing through, of dogs bounding ahead. For the local community, spaces like this are not just for exercise — they are places of connection, shared stories, and spontaneous friendship. This piece pays tribute to the joy of walking side by side, the steady rhythm of footsteps, and the loyal dogs that guide us forward.
