In drawing this I wanted to capture a sense of self acceptance in the image. The subject is totally at ease with herself. There is a feeling of playfulness, freedom and abandon in her movement.
If you familiar with Leonard Cohen's song 'Tonight Will Be Fine' you will see how it influenced the piece as it was playing while I drew.
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.

Storms conjure up notions of chaos, uncertainty and perhaps a sense of helplessness in the face of such powerful turmoil.
Their coming reminds us of our fragility but their passing brings clear skies and calm. We will all face challenges but these too shall pass, bringing hope and opportunity.

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!

We live in Malahide. It's a coastal town with lots of boats. They all look lovely when they're moored but they look even more beautiful when they set out to sea. Yes, harbours are a safe haven but boats are made for sailing, for carrying us where we want to go.
