Past Exhibitions
Land of Plenty
- Origin Gallery
- Harcourt St, Dublin 2
- February 2011
My first solo show in Dublin served as a reminder of the abundance of Ireland's in spite of economic collapse. It brings together the scenes that influenced my painting since returning to live in Ireland in 2007 - including the Kerry Bogs and the Cork Coastline.
Arctic Sensation
- Exhibited as part of the The Singer Corner Group Show at The Lavit Gallery
- Cork
- March 2011
I began to make these painting during a residency at The Cill Rialag Artists Retreat on Bolus Head in Kerry in December 2010. At the time, Ireland was under the biggest blanket of snow ever seen - and enduring the coldest temperatures ever recorded! But I was in Heaven! There was a purity to those crisp days on the mountain - great bright skies and a solemn stillness in the landscape that seemed to me to merit reverence.
Ballads to the Bog
- Cill Rialaig Gallery
- Ballinskelligs, Co. Kerry
- October 2010
During my residencies at the Cill Rialaig Artists Retreat I fell completely in love with the local boglands - this was completely unexpected considering I went there to paint the sea! I love the colours and textures of the bog and the fact that it is a living, breeding thing - ever changing! My interpretations of the bogs- and indeed the wider landscape - have been enormously influenced by the late Writer & Artist Michael Kirby - whose poems accompanied the pieces.
Returning
- County Carlow Municipal Offices
- Tullow, Co. Carlow
- December 2009
The 'Returning' series was exhibited in The County Carlow Municipal Offices in Tullow (my home town) in December 2009. It brings together a collection of my studies of the Irish Landscape - which envigorated my painting following15 years overseas. These initial studies were my first landscapes - I felt a sort of compulsion to make them - to document my home country upon returning. These paintings of Ireland facilitated a shift in my perspective, a deepening in my practice. They were a starting point for - and continue to influence my more recent larger works.
