Cerulean Sky

A childhood in rural Ireland surrounded by wild bogland and serene lakeland has instilled in me a deep connection to the natural world. Today my inspiration is the wilds of Dartmoor, the river Dart and the dramatic South-West coastline. Water is a constant thread running through my work and I am interested in how it generates a feeling of vitality, wonder and well-being. 

 

My paintings aim to express a sense of seeing beyond the usual when immersed in the landscape; a feeling of being on a threshold to another place. I use watercolour, acrylic ink, oil pastel and a variety of mixed media to evoke light, atmosphere, movement, and intrigue. I am looking to portray the ephemeral in nature by working intuitively and spontaneously.
