"Artist Philippa Bayliss lost her life after she was struck by a car on Monday evening in the village of Myshall in Co Carlow where she lived. Ms Bayliss, who was mother to three sons and aged in her 80s, was pronounced dead at the scene. The coroner has been notified and her body has been removed to University Hospital Waterford where a post-mortem examination will take place in due course.

"Ms Bayliss' paintings have been displayed in art galleries across the world, including at home in Ireland and in galleries in England and America. Ms Bayliss' paintings are also displayed in private art collections worldwide. Born in Kilkenny in 1940, Ms Bayliss was well travelled and had lived in Ireland, England, Sri Lanka, America, Vienna, France, Mexico and Sicily. From 1961 to 1965, Ms Bayliss received her formal training as a painter at The Byam Shaw School of Painting in London."
"Her talents were visible from a young age as she was awarded the Byam Shaw open scholarship, competing against approximately 200 other candidates for the prestigious accolade. In 1967, Ms Bayliss returned to Ireland and became the first curator at Castletown House in Co Kildare. In 1972, she moved to Ardclough in Co Kildare and returned to painting. Fast forward to 1976 and Ms Bayliss held her first solo exhibition at the Neptune Gallery in Dublin."
