Here are two paintings which I finished this year. I was in an old building and the light was pouring into a room and it was such a beautiful sight that I was inspired to paint these.

Hi. Since I blogged last, I finished my degree in Art and Design in Castlebar I. T. in June, 2009. I spent 6 very enjoyable and educational years there, where I learned so much about art and what I wanted to do as an artist.

In the intervening years, I have been part of an art group, which met regularly, created art together, went to exhibitions and we have held exhibitions of our work in Boyle every year since then.

Melodies 1

2008-01-09T05:03:00.000-08:00

My inspiration for this series of paintings came from a performance of the Congolese musician, Niwell Ntsumbu in sligo this summer. I have used thick layers of cardboard as my surface and carved into it to create form. I used acrylic, ink and pencil. I want to recreate the energy of the music in a visual form.

Life in Earth 2

My composition is of different parts of my local landscape - the outline of distant mountains, an old house interacting with parts of the human form. I am using acrylic, black ink and pencil to create varried intensity of marks

Life in Earth

2008-01-08T12:19:00.000-08:00

I am exploring the interaction of human form with nature in my local place. Using different marks and light and dark colours, I am working on creating an energy between the two.
