ABOUT THE ARTWORK
My Precious Bowls series is inspired by the Japanese artform 'kintsugi' which is the repair of broken pottery and ceramics using pure gold. The Japanese see the break as an integral part of the object and value the imperfection as part of the history of the piece. By repairing with gold the flaw is given respect and the preciousness of the piece is enhanced. This is also reflected in the philosophical idea of embracing the beauty in imperfection, acceptance of change and fate as aspects of human life. As we heal from damage, loss or trauma we are strengthened and become better from these experiences. The artwork consists of nine seperate paintings assembled as one composition. Each precious bowl is made using beeswax, pigments, inks and pure gold leaf. Beautifully vibrant and gem-like the bowls are presented as a collection.

Ireland
I am an Irish artist living in the beautiful coastal town of Wexford on the sunny southeast corner of Ireland. I have a unique and individual approach to art; finding beauty in imperfection, extraordinary in the everyday, complexity in simple things. My creative style is immediate, vibrant and contemporary. Inspiration comes from ordinary things; a simple tea bowl, a flower, a hen, a fish... to create exquisite tea bowls with golden cracks, majestic moon jars with golden seams, exotic fruit, flamboyant hens, cockerels and other creatures. I relish using ancient art media like wax encaustic, egg tempera, gold. Sumptuous color suspended in beeswax, paired with pure gold, makes for an opulent visual experience. Working with gold leaf is such a delicate affair. Sometimes I feel it has a mind of its own as the gentlest breath can cause it to flicker and fly away!
