SOLD OUT!This painting captures my interpretation of the way rain and mist move across the bogs in Kerry – seemingly unifying to occupy the scene. There are 'soft' days in Kerry, when the rain is a slight drizzle, merely doing it's job of re-hydrating the earth. This was painted on one of those days. Oil on board 29cm x 20cm SOLD

SOLD OUT!From my ‘Ballads to the Bog’ series, ‘Blanket Bog’ was painted during my first painting residency at Cill Rialaig Artists’ Retreat in Kerry. I went with the intention of painting the sea but was completely overwhelmed by the bogs and spent all my time painting there. It was glorious. I love the abundance of our bogs, their ever-changing colours and the fact they are a living, breathing thing. Oil on canvas 50cm x 40cm SOLD **Limited Edition Archival Prints Available**

SOLD OUT!Oil on Canvas 20cm x 20cm SOLD - **Now Available In Limited Edition Print** HERE. From my ‘Land of Plenty’ collection, ‘Across the sea to the Skelligs’ was painted following a residency at Cill Rialaig in Kerry. Situated on Bolus Head – Ireland’s most south-westerly point, the residency is set in a famine village that looks out at the Skelligs – the early Christian monastic islands. The rugged sea seemed to span a mystical journey of centuries and yet I felt connected by instinct and some sort of magic thread to this ancient other world.

One of the last paintings from my Mayo Lakes series, 'Memory Onmiscent, Time Intangible' was made during a residency on the shore of Lough Carra. My aim was to document the landscape, the lakes themselves and the indigenous entemology but the work evolved to include an inner landscape, documenting feelings about place, memory, family, the passage of time and how nature can bridge the gap between generations.

SOLD OUT!Oil on Canvas 40cm x 40cm SOLD This painting is a contemplation of the pull of one place from another. In Mayo, you can’t but be conscious of all the people who left their home there to make lives elsewhere. Poverty and hard times made their mark on the populous and this is – to my mind - imbued in the landscape. A stillness but also a sense of constant unfolding. There is a beauty to it that makes me think again of nature as perpetual motion.

SOLD OUT!At dusk on the lake it is as if the veils lifts a smidge and when staring across the lake you could almost be on the threshold of an other world. This eventide enchantment gives off a glow - the gloaming! The stillness then is a time for contemplation and an opportunity to allow our lives to settle somewhat, before beginning again.

SOLD OUT!I made this painting after spending time in residency on Westport Pier. There was something about the comings and the goings on the pier that seemed determined but ancient in origin. The onland cargo was a mixed bag of folks earnestly aiming to climb The Reek, locals going about their daily lives and visitors - many who were endevouring to retrace the steps of ancestors who had set off from here. The small boats setting out in Clew Bay by contrast, seemed resigned to the winds. Mixed media on canvas 40cm x 40cm in slip frame ready to hang
