Green Door Drawing

Welcome to my world, as a pastel artist living in Morocco has brought a huge new visual playground into my life and an adventure just waiting to be explored.. I am excited where this will lead my paintings!!! I am self taught in the use of pastels, my preferred medium. It´s velvety softness and immediacy of use appeals to me in my interpretation of the countryside. Landscapes mountainscapes, flora and fauna, and more recently buildings that are so much part of the culture and history as well as the land. My inspiration comes from the great outdoors, my sheer love of nature and its varying landscapes in its pure state. I have had several long breaks from painting, each time I am inspired to find my way back to the easel overwhelmed with the breathtaking scenery I find myself immersed in. Ireland, and Morocco two contrasting regions, uniquely beautiful and full of inspiration. The Temperate Zone was my solo exhibition in Ireland where I showed 20 pieces of original work, I am living in Morocco now and I hope to have an exhibition here in the future.. what to call it remains to be seen!
