An Offaly artist has donated the proceeds of her paintings to a fund to build a hospice in the Midlands.
Local artist, Marie Lyons, painted a beautiful array of oil paintings while cocooning during the initial days of the Covid-19 pandemic last year.
The Rath woman later sold the paintings to help raise funds for Offaly Hospice and last week, the Tribune was there to see her present a cheque for €6,200 towards the fundraising efforts to construct a hospice in the Midlands.
