The Singer from Quimper, Limerick

The Singer from Quimper is a striking statue created by the Irish artist Rowan Gillespie in 1992. The statue depicts a woman holding a tambourine in her hand, captured in a moment of joyful song. The statue stands on a circular plinth, with the title "The Singer from Quimper - 1992 Rowan Gillespie" engraved twice on its surface.

The statue was moved to its present location in 2006, where it continues to be a beloved landmark and a testament to the enduring connections between Quimper and Limerick. The Singer from Quimper is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a powerful symbol of the enduring bonds that unite people across cultures and borders.
