Madam, - As I am researching the life and work of the Irish artist Dairine (Doreen) Vanston for a master's thesis, I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who knew her.
She was born in Dublin in 1903 and lived for some years in France and Costa Rica, before returning in 1941 to Dublin, where she lived and worked until her death. As there is very little of her work in public museums, I would very much appreciate being able to view any paintings, woodcuts or lithographs that may be in private collections. - Yours, etc,
