The piece I submitted was from a series of work based around a shift in an experience of bereavement, of grief and letting go. An acceptance and deeper understanding of the healing power of art and nature. I am deeply inspired by my surrounding by the landscape in which I live and the flora and fauna of my environment and experience.
My paintings often abstract the landscape and the feeling of the places around me. I immerse myself in recording my personal response to my situations in space, internal and external .
I use time in my studio to compose paintings that I find a visually interesting and pleasing and these are my way of understanding and processing life.
I am a painter for the last 20 years working in Co. Wicklow.
