Imogen Stuart
(née Werner)

A true sculptor,she will be missed.

Giving thanks from Glendalough for Imogen’s legacy of a wonderful body of work. Condolences to her family & friends.

Sincere condolances to all her family and friends on the passing of wonderful Imogen. She was a superb artist but was almost more talented at relationships. I treasure the many cards i have from her, and the indelible memories of celebrations, and toasts with Goldwasser. Imogen will be deeply missed, and i offer sympthy to all the family in your great loss.

My sympathy to all of Imogen's family. I am grateful to have met her during the renovations of St Mel's Cathedral after the fire. She has left a great legacy of art in so many places around the county, and will continue to have her presence felt through them.

It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Imogen. My deepest and sincere condolences to her family. Imogen was a wonderful artist and a beautiful person. Imogen touched so many with her gentle smile and kindness. It is a testament to who she was that in a recent interview, when asked if there was an afterlife she replied: "I don’t like to think too much about an afterlife, but I hope there is one, because of all those wonderful people who died. They can’t be all gone. Can they?”
I will remember her so and will carry her in my heart.

I only learned today of Imogen’s death as I read last Saturday’s paper. Watching the funeral was an honour as I have loved her work since I’m not sure when?!?!
The Madonnas,the schoolchildren in Tyrellspass are sehr hübsch!! Her life and her work have enhanced my life and hearing about her belief in the miraculous at her funeral was so beautiful. Having the opportunity to watch her funeral felt miraculous to me!!
The eulogies were so lovely and funny .
Gach grá chugat Imogen ..German by birth and Irish by adoption .. suaimhneas síoraí chugat.

We are so sad to hear about Imogen. What an amazing woman. We are thinking of you all. We have such beautiful memories all three of us of different moments and chats. Lots of love Liz, alice and Iris

Imogen phoned me out of the blue about seven years ago. She had listened to my mother's (Rita Lynch) voice on a CD I sent her through Aisling. She was deeply touched by Rita's voice & said it was the most beautiful she had ever heard. Imogen didn't need to call me but she did and I shall treasure that conversation for ever.
Her artistic work is her inspirational and lasting legacy - the madonna & children bronze in Dingle Church is my personal favourite. Thank you Imogen & rest now in peace.
Sincere sympathy to Aisling, Aoibheann and all the family.

Most sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Imogen Stuart. She was a most extraordinary woman, a great artist and I had the privilege of meeting her very briefly at the cottage at Cill Rialaig retreat, a moment I shall cherish. R.I.P Imogen🙏

„Meine Zeit steht in Deinen Händen
Nun kann ich ruhig sein in Dir
Du gibst Geborgenheit, du kannst alles wenden
Lass mich ruhig sein in Dir“

Ich bin sehr traurig, Wegbegleiterin über 80 Jahre. Als Schulkinder haben wir die Länge unserer Wimpern gemessen, Blutsbrüderschaft geschlossen, Tennis gespielt und den Hund Maxi betreut.
Im Zeichenunterricht maltest Du ein Karussell, das mir einen ungeheuren Eindruck machte. Dein Vater hat sehr früh Dein Talent gesehen und entsprechend gefördert.
Trotz der vielen Widrigkeiten in Deinem Leben hast Du nie Deine Kraft verloren und ein großes Werk und ungeheurer Ausdruckskraft, Vielfalt und Phantasie hinterlassen. Welch Schaffenskraft!
Welch preussische Disziplin, mit der Du jeden Morgen „zur Arbeit“ gingst. Du fehlst mir.
Jeder in der Familie wird seine eigene Beziehung zu ihr gehabt haben und wird sie auf schmerzliche Art und Weise vermissen. Was für ein reiches, langes Leben. DU wirst nicht vergessen werden weder als Persönlichkeit noch als Künstlerin. Ich werde die Telefongespräche mit Dir sehr vermissen, Du warst eine der letzten Mohikaner aus meiner Vergangenheit. Ich bin glücklich, dass Du meine Freundin warst über so lange Zeit. Deine Wille.

My heartfelt condolences to Imogen's family and friends. She was a wonderful neighbour, generous friend and a true inspiration. A national treasure and we will miss her.

Our deepest sympathies on Imogen’s passing. Imogen was a really brilliant artist who's memory will live on forever. May she rest in peace. Laura, Michael and John Finn x

Deepest sympathy to family and friends on the death of Imogen.
She gave me such a warm welcome when I joined the swimming group. I always enjoyed chatting with her.
May she rest in peace.

My sincerest sympathies to Imogen’s immediate and extended family for their sad loss. I have the fondest memories of my times spent in Imogen’s company and admiration remembered for the soul she put into the thoughtful contributions she made when attending assemblies at the RHA. The heart and the soul which Imogen always brought to any gathering will be remembered kindly and very sadly missed.

Sincere condolences to Aisling and all the family. May Imogen's gentle soul rest in peace.

As ex staff members of Moyne College Ballina we were so saddened to hear of Imogens death and deepest sympathy to her family. We first met Imogen when she visited Moyne College to work on the Beehive Project. This work,the Beehive Meditation Cell is now installed at Knock Shrine in the Chapel of Reconciliation. In addition to being such a wonderful artist Imogen was a wonderful human being and we feel privileged to have known her.

Sincerest sympathy to Imogen's family
Dear Imogen you lived an extraordinary life - well done !
You are truly amazing and very special.
Auf wiedersehen und Ruhe in Frieden meine Liebe xx

Through Imogen's art we glimpse the beauty of God.

Rest in peace beautiful soul.

Imogen is a presence forever, especially through her work and memories - definitely one of the indestructibles.
My sincere condolences to her family and friends.
Fondly remembered,
Laura

May she rest in peace. I first met Imogen in Rome in 1978 when I organised a lecture given by her at The Irish College. We last met at her home a few months ago. What a legacy this gentle but strong soul has left to Ireland. May she be rewarded in Heaven.

May I express my sincere condolences to all of Imogen’s family. Her exquisite inspirational artistic legacy enriches our souls and those of future generations. Her warm and wonderful personality touched all who met her. May she enjoy the light of heaven!

Imogen had a wonderful enthusiasm for life. Her love of nature knew no bounds and was reflected in so many of her works. We are so lucky to have 'The Tree of Life' in St Josephs church and more recently Imogen's Standing Stone in Otranto Park. Imogen was warm, friendly and kind and I am so glad to have known her. My sincere condolences to Aoibheann, Aisling and family. May she rest in peace 🕊️.

I visited Imogen Stuart exhibition in Dublin Castle last year and was overwhelmed by her work. I also watched her programme on RTE and she was inspirational,Hope they show it again. She made a difference in life.
She certainly is at peace. Condolences to her family

My condolences to Imogen's family at this sad time. My late husband, Bob and I, were very fond of her and over the years attended little gatherings in her workshop in Sandycove Avenue West and many other exhibitions of her lovely pieces of art that she so beautifully crafted. May she rest in peace.

We offer our sincere condolences to the extended Stuart and Werner families and friends at this time of loss, sadness and change for you all. We continue to enjoy the vista of Imogen's work, "Anna Livia" from our home in The Square, Ballymore-Eustace. Thank you Imogen and Rest in Peace.

BERKDALE VILLA

We were so saddened to hear about Imogen’s passing. We had the pleasure of her frequent visits to Glendalough over the years. Always so gracious and with an infectious enthusiasm for life. We will miss her but her legacy lives on through her wonderful art. We are so lucky to have some of her pieces in the Glendalough Valley with which she had a deep connection. Our deepest sympathy to her wonderful family. Rest in peace dear friend.

My sympathies to Imogen's extended family on Imogen's death. She was a delightful person, gracious and always hospitable, and a great conversationalist. Her artistic work is superb and will be her lasting legacy. She brought us into her work and enabled us to appreciate it from the inside. She had a luminous and transparent quality: you knew where she stood on whatever topic came up. Early Irish spirituality has been blessed with a worthy spokesperson. May she now enjoy the fulness of life eternal.

May we wish our sincere condolence to Imogen's family on the passing of a wonderful lady and friend.
We had the absolute pleasure of working along side Imogen in the days of the quarry.
Thank you for being the beautiful person that you are.
May you Rest in Peace Imogen and God Bless your gentle soul.

We are so saddened to hear of Imogen’s passing.
We send our heartfelt sympathy to her daughters Aisling & Aoibheann & extended family.
Imogen was extremely talented, brilliant & so unassuming…a joy to meet.
What an extraordinary artistic legacy she has left.
Requiescat in pace.

Maud Gonne’s grandniece

We send our condolences to Imogen’s daughters and grandchildren and family circle. What a truly beautiful human being she was, always radiant and welcoming, so talented and so unaffected. A joy to meet and a privilege to have met her. She leaves a legacy of profound and brilliant work and of memories of her gentle smile, her great love of life.

Imogen, we both will miss your huge presence in Sandycove. We took for granted that you would always be around. Rest in peace wherever you are, we know you will always have a notebook in your hand, ready for the next piece of artistry.

My sincere condolences to Imogen’s family. She will be missed by us all. I will forever cherish our collaboration at St. Mels cathedral.
Sleep well Imogen.

James and Mary

Imogen was a towering and true artist who inspired us all. Her work lives on as utterly beautiful and brilliantly crafted art. She was steely and resilient and possessed razor-sharp critical faculties when talking about sculpture and painting. Her knowledge and wisdom was powerful. She had experienced more of life than most. We loved her. She was beloved by all. She was a profound person. She was always in top form - charming, smiling, totally engaged and immaculately and stylishly dressed. She had such style in so many ways. An honour to have known her. Sleep well dear Imogen.

Deepest sympathies to to all the family on the death of Imogen. Holy Mass offered for the happy repose of her soul.

My deepest sympathies and condolences to the family of Imogen. She changed my life when she nominated me for Aosdána and I will never forget her support and kindness to me as a young artist as she showed to so many others. The Irish art community is a lesser place without her.

Sincere condolences to Imogen’s family on her passing R.I.P. I had the privilege of being introduced to Imogen by the late Mgr. Tom Fehily around the time of the visit of Pope St. John Paul 11 Circa 1979. Imogen was an amazing artist and wonderful company. I was delighted to meet with her many times at the National Concert Hall, in particular at Our Lady’s Choral Society annual performance of Handel’s Messiah. The last time I met her was with our mutual friend Angel, another wonderful artist. We went for a meal with Imogen and retired to her house for a magnificent ‘digestive’.
She was a most interesting an inspirational artist. She expressed her faith through her gift of art and has left us a wonderful legacy that will evoke reflection in our own spirituality for our remaining years.
Imogen “May the Lord Bless you and keep you, may He make his face to shine upon you and give you His Peace “ 🙏

We recently visited Imogen exhibition in Dublin where we met The Beautiful Lady herself. It was a privilege to meet the lady who was so so so gifted. God really blessed her with such talent. We would like to extend our sincere sympathy to her daughters granchildren great granchildren and all who loved Imogen. May the good lord wrap you all in his blanket of love ❤️ as you come to terms with the loss of such a beautiful talented lady. It was a honour and a privilege to meet Imogen that day we knew we met a very special lady, she was delighted with the way her work was exhibated and she was so happy. ❤️ May Imogens gentle soul Rest In Peace thread gently keep minding each other.

Imogen was a wonderful neighbour of mine when I lived in Sandycove. She had a seminal influence on my life and I wish to pay tribute to her. Not only was she a supreme artist, she was also a superlative human being.

She loved children and mine were no exception. She taught them about the beauty of nature and invited them both - Tui and Nick - into her garden often. They just loved her. Her fish pond was a favourite spot.

I enjoyed many happy conversations with Imogen in her studio and watched her as she worked on pieces twice her size. She never flinched. What was really great about Imogen was that she had no pretences. She spoke the truth. Always.

I and Tui and Nick were privileged to have been in Imogen’s orbit. I have many fond memories of her and Maria Simonds-Gooding - another Sandycove neighbour and renowned artist - chatting late into the night about everything and nothing. What great women! What an amazing place to be at that time.

Imogen, you will always be in my heart. You will live forever through your art and the humanity it breathes.

Aisling and Émile - thinking of you.

Sincere condolences to the stuart family, imogen was a great lady who contributed so much to ireland and the arts, a long life lived a legacy left behind, may she rest in peace.

Condolences from the family of her late friend, Andy Devane.

Imogen’s spirit will live on through her amazing work and her amazing family!

May her memory be a blessing.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Imogen rip. She was a wonderful strong woman. She will always be remembered by her amazing contribution to the arts and as a talented artist and sculptor.

We are sad at your passing; sad we will no more meet on your daily outing to the seafront. Stele will be your memorial; ever looking out for you.
Beir Beannacht Imogen; cara dhíl, comharsan cruithitheach, bean uasal.

We met Imogen when she was 75 years young, when we became her neighbour, and soon after, her friend.  Her curiosity was infectious, and she always had a positive word.  We loved seeing her sketching and carving in her workshop.  She will be fondly remembered and sorely missed.

Soft memories of laragh visits when I lived on Calary Bog. Safe travels Imogen xx

I was so sorry to hear that Imogen had passed away. She was a lovely woman and I always enjoyed meeting her and chatting with her when she called into the Academy. May she rest in peace.

I was so sorry to learn of Imogen's passing. She was a lovely talented lady who will always be remembered as an esteemed contributor whose oeuvre contributed so much to Ireland's art treasures. In particular, the beauty of her church sculptures reflect the depth of her inner soul, of her spirituality and understanding.
