TO celebrate 35 years as an artist and designer the ever-gracious Patricia Jorgensen held a party on Thursday night in her Dublin mews house to open her new exhibition of delicate watercolours and tapestry designs. Ceramicist Vivienne Foley's work was also on show.

Patricia's friend, Lady Susana Walton, whose famous Italian garden inspired much of the work, flew in from her island home on Ischia to open the exhibition, and others who travelled for the party included Princess Francis Colonna and Elizabeth Alexander from Carlow.
