Blog ≫ 2012 ≫ Walter Clarke
Hi Paul, my name is Andy Regan, I'm an ecclesiastical artist from County Longford. Now I know it's a bit of a long shot but I've been trying to research & uncover more information on works by Walter Clarke, It's not for any particular project or reason, other than that I just have an interest in the fact that while his name is very well-known (being in Harry's shadow) the only reference I can find to any of his work are the murals he painted in Ballymahon church in my home county which are sadly no longer visible.
I would be elated if you could enlighten me with any further information on poor forgotten Walter.
Regards
Andy
