Fresh contemporary paintings capturing the unrestrained beauty of Ireland’s western coastline
I create original seascape paintings revealing the hidden beauty of the rugged coastline along the West of Ireland. Using photographic references, I bring to life colourful paintings that capture the unsuppressed beauty of the sea.
The artworks capture the magical, fleeting essence of light so that we can contemplate the beauty and intensity of these transient moments a little longer before the temporality of the setting subsides and disappears to time.
The remote imagery of the Wild Atlantic Way evokes a quality of reminiscence, a connection to ‘pastness.’ The original paintings are created in a subtle, fresh colour palette offering a contemporary edge to the work while capturing the nostalgia of times past.
All original artworks are hand-crafted in Co Mayo.

💙Why is looking at the sea so calming?💙
💙The colour blue is associated with feelings of calm and peace🩵 Listening to the ebb and flow of waves naturally relaxes the brain💙 so simply staring out to sea can change our brain wave frequency and lure us in to a mild meditative 🧘♀️ state🩵
💙Hope this painting brings the owner lots of Zen moments💙
