am constantly drawn to the rugged coastline of North Antrim, particularly
a small village
not far from my home – the sea and rocks at Ballintoy harbour hold a
particular fascination
and I spend many hours there sketching and observing the ever changing contrast
between the sky and sea. I am
compelled to capture the incessant and elusive power
of the waves. The
North Antrim coastline and the Glens as a whole, both areas of natural
outstanding beauty,
offer a wealth of source material and I feel privileged to live amongst
such constant
inspiration. I will always
feel the urge to express myself through a paintbrush. The
constant movement of the sea and the need to capture this energy on canvas
and paper continues
to be a learning process. I
aim to convey this poetry and drama through my paintings.” Long Mountain Gallery for affordable Irish art Terms and Conditions Privacy Policy Links
