Inspired by Ireland

I can’t think of anything sweeter than returning home after a long absence. I’ve experienced it more than once in my life and when our home comes into view, it’s a unique feeling.

I often find myself reliving those times when I pass through small rural villages and towns. So many of their sons and daughters have left but the call to return never leaves.

The bridge leading into trim, Co. Meath is regarded as the oldest bridge still in use in Ireland. What attracted me to it, besides it's 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.

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.

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 Parke's Castle & Lough Gill

Parke's Castle sits on the northern shore of Lough Gill. A restored 17th century castle built on the site once occupied by Gaelic Chieftan Brian 0’Rourke. Over the centuries it is as though both castle and lake have become one. There is a serenity and a deep sense of tranquility when standing in this timeless spot.

Doolin is world-famous for its traditional Irish music and holds annual festivals such as the Doolin Folk Festival. There are plenty of scenic hikes such as the Doolin cliff walk. There is the famous Doolin Cave, and the area has more than 100 archaeological sites from ancient times.

A trip to Ireland isn’t complete without a visit to this wonderful spot.
