A Place of Retreat
A body of work inspired by Murlough Nature Reserve with a focus on the themes of retreat and emotional wellbeing.
Murlough Nature Reserve lies at the foot of the Mourne Mountains in County Down, Northern Ireland. From its earliest days it has provided a retreat for those who feel the pull of nature and those who long for solitude.
As a mixed media artist I draw upon a variety of materials and methods when gathering inspiration, developing ideas and creating the final pieces. These include painting, collage, printmaking and photography
Prints of selected pieces will be available for worldwide delivery soon - print shop in development
