CPC students show artistic 'Strength'

People walking up and down to mass, or on other business on the Mile Mill road, will have noticed the growing mural beside the entrance to the church car park, writes Brian Byrne.

It's the work of two CPC students, Laura Byrne and Lauren Fagan, who were asked to consider turning a drab sheet of plywood into something more decorative.

The project is sponsored by Kilcullen Lions Club and is being organised through Kiclullen Community Action. "It will take us four or five weekends in total to complete," Laura says.

Though both students have Noel Scullion as their art teacher in CPC, neither have plans to go to art college. "But it will look good on our CVs," Lauren suggests.

Indeed, and it may already have brought them some other work in that line, as they have been asked by a local business to consider doing something similar on a part of their premises. "Maybe there's summer work in it," Laura says.

The title of the current work, which they designed completely themselves, is 'Strength'. Nice work, too.
