Inspired by Braodmeadow Estuary

Broadmeadow Estuary has always been my go to place when I needed to recharge, clear my mind and simply sit in the calm of early morning. My depiction is of the inner estuary which, o this day, remains one of my favourite places.

A New Day captures the quiet promise that comes with first light, a moment of stillness where endings soften and new beginnings emerge. Through layered pastel tones, shifting light, and gentle movement, this piece reflects hope, renewal and the quiet courage to begin again. Inspired by nature’s rhythm and the beauty of fresh perspective, the painting invites us to pause, let go of yesterday, and embrace the possibilities that each new day can bring. A calming and uplifting work that speaks to resilience, clarity, and optimism.

The Irish pub is truly at the heart of Irish culture. The beer may flow but it’s the tide of stories, songs and slagging that makes an Irish pub such a unique place. It’s not hard to understand why there are Irish bars in every corner of the world.

This image is of the iconic Temple Bar pub in the heart of Dublin City.

It’s hard to find yourself alone when you’re in one, whether you want to or not!

A mother doesn’t stop being a mother once her children are grown. Likewise, a child doesn’t stop being a child to someone no matter how old we get, how independent we become or how successful we might be.

We will always be our mother’s  child. It’s nice to remind our mothers that we recognise this.

This piece is the ideal gift for Mother’s Day or anytime we need to let our mothers know how much we love them.

The focus of this range is to capture the essence of the subject with the minimal use of line. The one line pieces are, as the name suggests, drawn with a single line, the pen or brush never leaving the paper creating deceptively simple images.

I’ve always been drawn to earthy colours - ochre, orange, brown …. I’ve always loved autumn and the colours it brings. I find them incredibly peaceful.

I chose an autumnal palette for this piece in which I wanted to convey a sense of rest
and peace. It isn’t an actual place but rather a scene from drawn from the memory of many places I have been and experienced that deep sense of peace.

Bar 1661 opened its doors in 2019 and within a few short years (including being closed during the Covid pandemic) it was winner of Ireland's Bar of the Year 2022. Based in the heart of Dublin 7, it is named after the year Poitín as we know it was banned.

The ethos of owner Dave Mulligan is deeply rooted in the promotion of Irish Poitín through cocktail culture. Well worth a visit.

Inspired by the Irish woodlands.

When painting this forest scene, David Wagoner’s poem ‘Lost’ came to mind.

The poem speaks about feeling lost when in fact all we need to do is be still, honour our feeling but not to let it encompass us. The forest knows where we are just as good friends know when we despair.

I find light filtering through the trees very emotive. The sense that even though we are deep within a forest, the light will find find us and guide us.

Be still, listen and open your heart.
