Artist Statement:
As an Irish born Artist I am
extremely influenced by
nature, particularly the Irish
landscape which features
extensively in my paintings.
Observing it from different
perspectives my work reflects
the ever-changing mood, light
and colour of a familiar
place. I am deeply driven by
nostalgia which I find in the
texture of a weathered wall
which has been beautifully
transformed through time by
the elements, and I exploit
this in my abstract and
semi-abstract works, "Coastal
Landscapes " which are
influenced by the Irish
coastline and harbours. In my
semi-abstract pieces I want to
bring the viewer into the
space rather than simply view
a picture. They are composites
of a variety of observations
juxtaposed to create unique
and more personal
compositions.
My technique where I use a
combination of heavy texture
and several thin, transparent
layers of oil colour, built up
slowly over time, often
reveals passages from an
earlier phase of the painting,
enabling me to produce an
intensity in these works.
