Born in Dublin,
she was educated at Trinity College and the National
College of Art and Design. She is now a full-time artist and divides
her time between her Dublin studio, the family home in West Cork, and
summer workshops in Crete. As well as producing works for exhibitions,
and executing commissions, she also gives regular courses on watercolour
art, for beginners upwards, both in Dublin or West Cork. See her website
(below) for details.
Influenced from an early age by Impressionism,
Levis has a loose style, but one perfectly suited to her subject matter,
whether it be the raw coastline of Ireland or the softer rainbow locations
of the Mediterranean. And her treatment of light, heat and water is uniformly
impressive.
Not surprisingly, her works have been exhibited
in solo as well as group shows in numerous galleries and exhibitions.
These have included: the Bobby Dawson Gallery, Dun Laoire; the Powerscourt
Town Centre, Dublin; City Hall, Cork; West
Cork Arts Centre, Skibbereen; Lahinch Art Gallery, Co. Clare; Miriam
Bailey Gallery, Bandon, Co. Cork; Village Framers Gallery, Dublin 14;
Hungry Hill Art Gallery, Adrigole, West Cork; Colebreene Exhibition, Malone
House, Belfast; and several Art Ireland exhibitions at the RDS,
in Dublin.
