My Work

Here is some of my most recent work which include monoprints. I have spent a lot of time doing prints as I really enjoy printmaking and the atmosphere within the Print Room. I also like to make adjustments to my work - changing the colour and contrast- through the use of photocopying.

Limerick City Gallery

I came across this art work while visiting the gallery. I like how the artist Deirdre O' Mahony used mixed media. This relates to my own work as I feel it looks like a map.

Limerick City Gallery

Today I visited Limerick City Gallery with my studio to see Alan Phelan's exhibition "Fragile Absolutes Part 3". While I appreciate his work I find his concepts difficult to grasp. However, I did find some of his work quite humorous!

Recent Work

My recent work was inspired by artists Clodagh Emoe and Mel Chin.

Artist - Russell Crotty

While carrying out research I came across an artist called Russell Crotty. For over 25 years Crotty has created and exhibited a large body of art works manifested in globes, drawings and books.

I find Crotty's landscape work most appealing. His observations of the natural and man-made world relate to small yet momentous moments: wandering mountains, climbing rocks, and trees, treks down backroads of bucolic ranch lands or journeys to extraordinary spots along the coast.

Print Workshop

Today I tried printmaking for the first time! I was delighted with how my prints turned out. I did a wood cutting of a map of Grove Island and used a variety of inks to record the different colours I associate with my space. I experimented and twisted the wood block to add complexity to my prints.
