Created in response to the economic downturn, this collection brings together some of my abstracted landscapes from Ireland. Land of Plenty is a celebration of the beauty and abundance of our land in spite of economic adversity. It was a great time of exploration and an opportunity to create bigger paintings.

SOLD OUT!Oil on Canvas 20cm x 20cm SOLD - **Now Available In Limited Edition Print** HERE. From my ‘Land of Plenty’ collection, ‘Across the sea to the Skelligs’ was painted following a residency at Cill Rialaig in Kerry. Situated on Bolus Head – Ireland’s most south-westerly point, the residency is set in a famine village that looks out at the Skelligs – the early Christian monastic islands. The rugged sea seemed to span a mystical journey of centuries and yet I felt connected by instinct and some sort of magic thread to this ancient other world. -
SOLD OUT!Oil on canvas 120cm X 100cm SOLD From my ‘Land of Plenty’ collection, ‘On the Beach, Ballinskelligs’ was painted on a freezing cold but bright day – on my hands and knees on Reen Pier – the departure point for ancient Skellig Michael. It was my very first large painting. I was on my first painting retreat in Cill Rialaig, having recently returned to live in Ireland, following 15 years overseas. That trip and this painting marked a turning point – a shift into truly appreciating the spirit, abundance and latent beauty of my own country. ** NOW Available as a Limited Edition Archival Print ** -
