 The artist, Anne Ryan McGree, likes to capture something special, just to hold in time images such as children at play, animals in their environment, flowers and unusual gardens and country scenes. "The Ireland we know today is a perfect haven of inspiration for artists, compelled to observe the country-side and the way our seasons change"

Greetings!
 
Gift Innovations conducted a survey last month on our gift selection and employee reward & recognition. We were pleasantly surprised by the level of interest in art and we have since launched a wonderful range of limited edition watercolour prints by award winning Kilkenny artist, Anne Ryan McGree.  
 
The survey confirmed the importance of employee recognition in the current economic climate and it revealed opinions of various recognition solutions. We wish to thank all those who participated in the survey.
 
Best Regards,
Ann Lyons
