Doswell Gallery

30 Years Experience

Doswell Gallery is situated in the picturesque and historic West Cork town of Rosscarbery. The owner, Chris Doswell, has been involved in the art business for the past 30 years; previously in Limerick where the Chris Doswell Print Gallery exhibited limited edition fine art prints from Irish and international printmakers, as well as a bespoke framing service, which had an excellent reputation throughout the region for its high quality work, notably its focus on displaying art works using sympathetic and conservatorial methods. Based in Rosscarbery since 2007, the gallery has hosted a number of highly popular and stimulating solo shows for both established and emerging artists from Ireland and abroad.
