ABOUT ME

Landscape Painter

My artistic practice involves the use of landscape as metaphor for human experience.
It has been said that landscape is the repository of intangible values and human meanings that nurture our existence.

The work represents a lot of travel, with Ireland being a strong recent focus, inspired as much by ancestral family connections as the spectacular coastlines.

My Recent Exploration of Oil on Linen

The new works are about the impact of absence and distance on humans. Sometimes that absence is about the loss of loved ones, and the changes that occur with those losses. In the new paintings, what isn't there is important, the space left in the abstracted details, representing what the viewer might fill in with with his or her own memories, thoughts and perceptions. Just like when we blink, there are blanks in the raw input in the visual system, the brain fills in the gaps.
