Mark Twain is one of those people you'd love to have had over for dinner. He had a way of encapsulating great wisdom in a few words. Fran had this quote in his wallet for years but it was only when asked by a customer to do a print of it that this piece came to be. Initially the customer wanted the quote and this image but Fran felt it didn't work and drew this instead. It has gone on to become one of our most popular prints and is ideal for people starting a new chapter in life or facing change.
We love it and hope you do too.
Fran & Bernie

This is one of the earliest pieces I did in this series. Called ‘A place to hide’ it evokes a sense of warmth with autumnal palette and the house, nestled, almost hidden from view. Whilst it was inspired by countless scenes I have encountered it is not of a specific place. Perhaps it is the place I imagine I’d like to be to enjoy some quiet time.

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.

The Irish landscape is quilted in a rich tapestry of beautiful flowers. The colours are as rich and as varied as the people who inhabit the island.
No-one has to tell a flower to bloom. It just does. Likewise, we don't permission form anyone to burst into full blossom. Worth remembering that!

The bridge leading into Trim, Co. Meath is regarded as the oldest bridge still in use in Ireland. What attracted me to it, besides its beautiful architecture, was the sense of people returning. The bridge gives a strong sense of being welcomed home. In the crossing we find ourselves back at our source.

We lost Christy Dignam in June of 2023 after a long battle and what a loss he was.
This piece is my tribute to Christy, a unique talent with a sublime voice. Everything about his voice is a testament to pain and overcoming adversity. Some of us succumb to damage and some of us use it to climb to a higher place. Thanks for climbing Christy.

The Shandon Tower is one of Cork's most recognised and best loved sights. It is a truly beautiful building. Locals, noticing that the four clocks were not always in agreement, named it the 'Four Faced Liar'.

I am not alone in my admiration for Audrey Hepburn. Not only was she a great actress but a woman who overcame much adversity and gave so much back to the world. She was the inspiration for this piece. There is something in the posture that shows a woman who is totally confident and independent.
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 grew up listening to the Percy French song ‘Mountains of Mourne’. It’s an evocative song and when you visit the Mourne Mountains you can see why.
This painting tries to capture the natural beauty of the area which, one would understandably miss if living far away. The title for the piece comes from the Clifford T Ward song of the same name.

It doesn’t matter how long the winter lasts. It doesn’t matter how deep the snow may be. The sun will always rise and the snow will always melt.

Horses are such beautiful creatures. They seem to embody so many positive and noble characteristics - strength, gentleness, faithfulness, humility to name but a few.
