My Artwork
Oh to be beside the sea!! It evokes so many emotions for me, exhilaration, energy, a sense of calm, peace, almost a contradiction! There is so much healing for me, spending time looking out over our wonderful Irish coast. That’s why, if I were to choose a scene to paint, the sea would come up trumps every time.
There is something very special about autumn, its fresh mornings, golden leaves lining the roadside. It’s a time for me to reflect and give thanks for the provision of harvest. I love when the fields are filled with bales, the contrast of colours and textures. And the trees around the roadsides, and fields with their bark, gnarled and twisted. Drive along and find little abandoned collages hidden away on a hillside. It awakens my passion to put it all down on canvas.
Each day I count my blessings that I live in the heart of the countryside. To look out across
the rolling fields, spot a rabbit, a fox, see the web of a busy spider on a crisp autumn
morning with dew drops sitting pretty on the amazing design, watch as the butterfly flutters
here and there. I could go on and on, there is so much to paint!
What past clients have said
Let yourself reflect, drift back to a memory, perhaps to a place you have been in your childhood, stay a while, relax!
Charity: New Hope for Children
10% of all profits from sales go to New Hope for Children, a charity in Columbia which gives street children in Bogota a safe home and upbringing.
I am thrilled to be able to help in a small way by providing the children with art and craft supplies to open up their creativity.
