ABOUT THE ARTWORK

High waves were crashing on the west coast of Ireland shore one moonlit night. It was captivating to see the wind, the rain and the sea mingling to create a powerful, dramatic show. Back in the studio, when I started painting a dark blue brooding cloud, I remembered that scene and then thrived to capture the energy and the dynamics I felt then: the back-lit clouds thin light shining on the sea spray, the rain curtains falling on the water, the waves lifted high and crashing on the rocks. Have you experienced the strengths of the elements when all you can do is stop and be because you feel intimately part of it? At that moment, all is one. This painting 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 and then wrapped in cardboard 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.
