I am a visual artist and painter. A consistent thread in my work has always been a focus on the language of place. Giving attention to and engaging with a place slowly over time is to forge a bond, a relationship that can be both reciprocal and life enhancing, making a space both for listening and for the place to have its voice. Recent works are made from local earth pigments and wax on paper. I have lived in the West of Ireland for over twenty five years and am drawn to mountains, stones and the bog.
