Partick Ward – Art Studio in Koivuniemi
In the heart of Koivuniemi you will find the inspiring art studio of Irish artist Patrick Ward. His colorful mosaics and unique works are born in the old doctor's house, where history, creativity, and Finnish nature come together.
Visitors are welcome to step into Patrick's world and experience art that reflects both Irish roots and the tranquility of North Karelia. The mosaic exhibition in Koivuniemi is one of a kind – vibrant, detailed, and full of stories.
Mosaic Art – Patrick Ward Exhibition
A hidden gem of Rääkkylä.
At Koivuniemi you'll find a unique mosaic art exhibition created by Irish artist Patrick Ward, housed in our historic doctor's residence.
Visitors can explore Patrick's colorful mosaic world, learn how pieces are made, and hear where inspiration comes from.
We also organize wellbeing art workshops for groups, where participants create their own mosaics – meditation in the form of art.
Patrick's mosaics are also on display in summer 2025 at the Art Pier in Punkaharju (1.6.–30.8.2025).
