Rebekah was born in 1992 and raised in Donegal. Having grown up in a family that devoted their lives to the arts, she has always been absorbed by creativity. She studied English Literature at University of Essex and after graduating in 2014 she moved to Brighton. Throughout and after her studies she was always drawn to painting, and has returned to Ireland to revisit and reinvest in her passion for art under the watchful eye of her very well known Father, Artist Martin Mooney, and her equally creative Mother Trudie Mooney, both of whom also exhibit with The Whitethorn Gallery here in Clifden.
One of the best Art Galleries in the West of Ireland, The Whitethorn Gallery showcases work by some of the finest contemporary artists that Ireland has to offer, together with a selection of artists from the UK and Europe personally selected by Award Winning Artist & owner Anne Merrins. Spread over 7 rooms, providing ample space for the casual browser as well as those with an eye to buy, The Whitethorn Gallery is one of the many reasons that Clifden has become such a desirable destination for visitors from all over the globe. The gallery has contributed to the extensive art collection in Ballynahinch Castle, Connemara’s most prestigious luxury getaway.
