About Me

I am an artist based in Galway along the Wild Atlantic Way. I am inspired by the textures of nature and the profound depth in people. The extraordinary in the ordinary intrigues me. My art is mixed media, primarily oil painting with cold wax. I create original art inspired by the magic of nature on my doorstep here in the West of Ireland. I have a deep connection with the sea, mountains, bogs, laneways and vast skies of Connemara. I spend time in wild nature to sustain and nourish my wellbeing. This influences my work. I tend to lean towards hope and optimism and this is reflected in the colours I am drawn to use in my paintings.

I practice meditation, and I especially enjoy cultivating a practice in the outdoors. I am so lucky to teach a weekly meditation class in a local yoga and wellness studio. Creating art and cultivating a daily practice of mindfulness and presence has brought peace and calm into my life. I have found it takes so much to stay balanced, well and happy - exercise, sleeping, rest, eating whole foods and connecting with and supporting friends, family and community. Meditation, formal and informal practices, have enhanced my wellbeing and in turn my art! 

Please feel free to get in touch with me directly or to browse through my shop. Whether is original art you are seeking, or prints which is a wonderful option to bring art into your space in a more affordable way. Each print is on artist’s high quality paper and each are numbered and signed by me.
