Mweelrea Mountain is located between Doo Lough and Killary Harbour in Mayo. She is a stunning mountain, made all the more impressive when reflected on the still water. She connects us to the spirit of the West when we find ourselves standing beneath her.

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.

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 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!

Malahide Castle is located in North County Dublin. It was home to the Talbot family for almost 800 unbroken years and it is still the ‘spiritual home’ of the nearby village.

Growing up, the castle and grounds were my playground and still hold a special place in my heart. The roots are strong.

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.

Life may be hard right now but there is ways hope.
