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!
