Garrity who served three tours of duty as Sculptor-In-Residence of Mount Rushmore National 
                                    Memorial has lived, worked and lectured in both America and Europe. Currently the artist is
                                    dividing his time between France and the West of Ireland with the creative focus on a new body 
                                                                                 of work inspired by Noble Laureates.   

               

 

                               
                                                      Keem Bay on Achill Island is off the west coast of Co. Mayo, Ireland. The Island 
                                                      has a history of attracting artists, writers, poets, aging rogues, fiery spirits and 
                                                      relentless musicians. The works of DJ Garrity inspired Irish America Magazine
                                                      to include the artist in their annual selection of "Top 100 Irish Americans".
