My Portraits are all about trying to capture an expression that speaks of the subjects personality as I see them. I like painting these in black and white. This is a technique I stumbled upon when my kids were very young and I had issues with the colours I’d mixed drying out. Working in black and white meant I didn’t have to worry about this. I have since found this to be a style that both suits me as an artist and a style that helps distinguish my work from the art work of many others. Many of my portraits are of Irish Icons and I am often trying to promote a shared love of these figures across both sides of our community on our island.
My landscapes and landmark paintings usually involve a more vibrant array of colours. The focus is on trying to capture the energy of a place in an attempt to build on the connection between the location and the viewer. I have painted many beautiful beaches around Donegal and I have also produced a series of paintings and embellished prints celebrating the amazing ‘Let the Dance Begin’ sculptures in my home town of Strabane, Co. Tyrone, which were made by my Art Teacher at school - Maurice Harron.
My abstract paintings are all about freedom, experimentation and mood. The processes I use often mean I lose a lot of the control you may have with a landscape or a portrait. However, there is a real sense of achievement upon finishing a piece where you have had to persevere and overcome the challenges that have arisen when things haven’t gone as you may have hoped. These abstracts can be commissioned to suit bespoke sizes and colour schemes for your home. I also make many of these using the sand from our beautiful Irish beaches and it is becoming increasingly popular for people to have these made with the sand from their favourite locations- this adds a real personal touch to the outcome.
