Champions 4 – Fund raising campaign in aid of Barretstown Children’s Charity

Champions 4

About Champions 4

Champions 4 was inspired by Brennan Simkins, a 10-year-old cancer patient and budding artist who suggested to McTeir that he join all four paintings together with a four-leaf clover.

Working with Brennan, McTier created a magnificent quartet of the “Irish Major Champions” centered on Brennan’s four-leaf clover design.  “I thought it was a unique idea” said McTier, having been inspired by Brennan’s four-year fight in surviving four bone marrow transplants to defeat Acute Myeloid Leukaemia.

About the Artist

The finesse sport of golf challenges McTier to take to the greens not only in spikes, but to capture with palette knife and brush the best golfers in the  sport. Working with the Press On Fund and budding artist Brennan Simkins, a ten-year-old survivor of Adult Myeloid Leukemia, Jace has been able to create an Irish assemblage of major champions centered on a four-leaf clover design. Rory McIlroy, Darren Clarke, Padraig Harrington and Graeme  McDowell (painted on four canvases) are tied together with the central clover element. With broad strokes and no fear, Brennan helped Jace begin the series and designed the clover where the paintings join together. The work is a tribute to the golfing greats of Ireland and to the power of love for the sport.

  1. Hi, can you tell me the total size of the print? I am considering giving it as a gift and framing it so I need to look for a suitable frame also.

    Is there many left as I don’t really need it until October time?

    Thanks in advance

    1. Hi Paddy,
      What a wonderful gift to give someone. I am just going to double check that the print is still available and the dimensions and I will get back to you as soon as I get them. If you need anything else in the meantime please don’t hesitate to contact us at fundraising@barretstown.org thanks Hazel
