ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The West of Ireland weather fronts are constantly shifting and creating energetic or quieter spectacles with endless permutations I find fascinating and explore in my work. How can I, with paint, retain that sense of energy and drama, that feeling of awe when faced with these elements so that you too can feel it when viewing this painting? In this piece the eye is pulled through the swirling vortex of bruised heavy clouds and veils of rain through to the horizon where the light casts a golden hue upon the land and adds a sense of hope and expectation. The painting is mainly arranged around cool colours but the warm cast of rose light on the distant billowing clouds is the main focus. Have you experienced, like I have, these veils of rain falling across sea and land while through them you see a brighter day approaching? This is an oil on deep edged canvas ready to hang. All paintings are varnished to add a protective coat against dust. Only the highest quality archival fine art grade oil paints are used on a surface gessoed and prepared by myself. All work is carefully packed using protective compressed foam boards 2 cm deep so that your painting arrives safely. I exhibit internationally and my art is featured in collections worldwide.

Wandering through the landscape we're touched by its mood and light, we live in it, and it lives in us. This magical union is where my paintings are born. How can I make tangible on a paint surface a world that is full of magic and poetry? My finished pieces do not mirror a subject matter but are a representation of emotions felt in a specific time or place. Often the fleeting effect of a particular light and colour in nature are held somewhere in my visual memory. At some point, this takes centre stage on the painting I am working on. It may appear during the process of creation without an obvious connection to the subject matter at hand and yet, it adds another dimension, a particular atmosphere. These processes are ways and means by which I express my connection to nature in all its richness and variety. I am an Irish artist living and working in Provence France My work is rooted in the Romantic landscape tradition. I hold a Bachelor Degree in Fine Art (BFA). My work is in collections in France, the USA, Great Britain and Ireland.
