ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Can you feel the stillness of this painting and its subtle combination of coolness and warmth? It gives a sense of hope, don't you think? Mount Kippure in county Wicklow, Ireland offers a magical experience to everyone who visits. Here, one dark frosty winter evening, snow flakes are falling slowly to add thin layers upon thin layers to the open bog land. Tufts of grass peek through here and there to add textured dark patches. In the meantime, the warm glow of the dying sun draws shadows on the pristine land. This is an oil on panel that requires framing. 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.
