Decoupage Candle display by Helen Scott in Nenagh Library
2025-02-28 09:00 - 16:30 (Europe/London) | Nenagh Library, E45 AK50
Helen Scott, originally from Laois but living in Nenagh for the past 20 years, is our latest exhibitor in Nenagh library.
Believing that retirement offers the chance to re-invent oneself, Helen took up decoupage, working particularly with candles. In her own words ‘Most of our lives are spent doing tasks we have to do rather than what we want to do. I have found something I love to do and it gives me great joy. As we grow older we need to stay passionate about those things that bring us joy, that keeps us connected to this world.’ She has a philosophical view of her craft – candles see us into this world and lead us out of it, being present at both birth and death. They are used to celebrate all the milestones in our lives.
The social aspect of it is another unexpected bonus and Helen’s candles were popular sellers at the local Christmas markets this year, something which she enjoyed hugely. With Valentine’s Day coming up soon, she expects to be busy with sales.
This display will be in Nenagh library until the end of February

Terriesa Torode is an English-born self-taught artist based in Ireland. Her background knowledge is rooted in horticulture where, for over 30 years, she became known and popular as a self-employed horticulturist, garden designer, and journalist throughout Co. Tipperary. These many years of experience allowed her to obtain membership to the Chartered Institute of Horticulture (M.C.I HORT).
Terriesa’s inspiration stems primarily from nature. She takes great delight in noticing shapes, colours, and textures of leaves. Admiring distant valleys and mountains, trees, flowers, and wildlife. Terriesa chose to challenge herself by exploring new illustrative styles.
This is Terriesa’s first exhibition in almost a decade having previously presented in Nenagh Library with her collection of painted acrylic slates. This exhibition “” explores mythological and natural scenes using watercolour and acrylic paint.
In 2022, while sitting at the beach, Terriesa was inspired to create a mermaid painting. This ended up being titled “Tranquillity” and is being showcased at this exhibition. From there, Terriesa added more details to her illustrated scenes, diving deeper into the depths of her skillset.
There are themes of comfort and peace throughout her work and are all very personal to Terriesa’s journey and experiences. There are also themes of dreamy mythology which Terriesa finds extremely inspiring.
“From here, I want to further experiment with textures of rocks and leaves. I strive for self-improvement in everything I do, whether in the garden, or on a canvas or paper. I very much hope you enjoy the exhibition I have been working on and piecing together over the last two years. If you enjoy my work a fraction as much as I have enjoyed this journey to-date, then I will be extremely proud of my efforts. Wishing you much fun exploring the rockpools, coves, castles, and meadows of my memories.”

As part of Astronomy Week, Nenagh library is delighted to welcome John Flannery who will give a presentation entitled ‘Adventures in Astronomy.’ Discussing why we had the strong displays of northern lights in recent months and the possibility of more to come, John will cover the celestial sights that anyone can enjoy with just basic equipment and discuss how one could take an interest in astronomy further.
