Bluebell Forest

I am from the midlands of Ireland surrounded by our natural peatlands. My journey as an artist began when I was on holiday in Co. Donegal, so inspired by the beauty of this rugged landscape with it’s magnificent colour and scenery I found myself standing in an art supply shop not knowing what paints or brushes to buy. With some help from the kind shop assistant I left with acrylic paint and a few brushes. I gathered the stones my daughters had collected from the beaches and painted the scenery we fell in love with.  From that point the passion for art grew and I haven’t stopped developing as an artist.

I have successfully displayed my art in local galleries where I live and also as many of my paintings are of Donegal I brought them back to the county and displayed them in galleries there, as a result I sold some and they are now in America and Scotland.

As I’m always trying new things I collected states many of which were old and broken but formed lovely shapes, I gave them new life by painting different images which suited the form and texture. Happily I sold my slate work at different craft fairs and events.

This journey I’m on has finally lead me to showcasing my work to a wider audience a journey which I’m truly going to enjoy.
