Settled

My Life in Ireland

Eight months ago I shut down my online shop and deleted Instagram from my phone. I needed to strip everything back to better hear my inner voice. To learn, grow and create what was in my heart to paint. In that time I’ve devoured art books and learned new techniques. Tapped into what inspires me and have created works of art I’m really really proud of. I’ve also moved into a new studio and opened an art gallery. I would say that I feel more settled in both myself and my surroundings than I’ve ever felt before. This collection of paintings is an ode to both. What’s in my heart and the overwhelming gratitude I feel living in this beautiful, inspiring community.

Crash Original Painting

£695.00

I could look out at the sea all day and find it so serene to paint! I love this spot at Bloody Bridge looking up towards Newcastle. The day I painted this it was very very windy and I had to sit low with my easel hoping the wind wouldn’t blow it over. I think that’s what contributed to the waves crashing so energetically against the rocks.

This painting was done en plein air. One of my favorite things in the world is to be out in nature, set up with my easel and paints and my dog by my side. I find so much inspiration painting on location. It evokes all of your senses and gives you a true sense of color and place.

From the Mountain Original Painting

£695.00

That last glow of golden hour hitting the waterfall coming down from the Mourne Mountains. This serene spot is at Bloody Bridge. I tried to capture all the beautiful colors of the water as it tumbles down through the rocks. When I painted this the sun had just gone behind the mountain but there was still a beautiful evening glow. I think the pop of golden yellow from the gorse adds to the magic of this beautiful painting.
