ARTIST LIVING & WORKING IN SOUTH KERRY ON THE ATLANTIC WAY
At a certain time of life, when the children are reared, the graduations have been celebrated, the nest has been vacated (temporarily it seems) and the daily comings and goings of single parenting life subside , there remains a time, (if we survive)to be face to face with our paintbrush again….
In this time we can draw on all the images and memories of a life lived. We can access the store room of vital moments still vibrant in our visual consciousness.

Teaching has always been a part of my Art Life. I have found that to teach the fundamentals of oil painting ( or Acrylic )one first needs to scrutinise the Masters. I study brushwork, composition, colour palette, themes , lighting, poses and presentations in order to know the work. It is only when I know the work so well that I can deconstruct these elements and reconstruct my own ¨recompositions¨
