Waking up

“In all places, then, and in all seasons,

Flowers expand their light and soul-like wings,

Teaching us, by most persuasive reasons,

How akin they are to human things.” ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 Summer is the season of abundance, of high vibrations, and of heart-centred joy. Nature is flourishing, the birds are singing, the bees are buzzing, and the gardens are ripe for picking. I created this piece as part of my “Gáirdín Discó” collection in an effort to celebrate the season’s energy and harvest its magic, light and spirit! I believe that there is a connection between these beautiful petaled beings and the brightest part of the human soul.

This collection is inspired by the hedgerows and wildflowers of West Kerry. I am not interested in capturing a direct representation but rather, I am fascinated by trying to capture the essence of a place. The feeling. A place where old and new memories and time overlap ~ an invented garden. A world where colours dribble down the surface like soft rain, where pale tinted veils move like low light mist, where flowers are pink, red, dainty, and punctual, where leaves are speckled, dashy, long and lively, where quilt like fields, winding roads and paths ramble, and where bee-like wiggly lines potter along the edges.  

These paintings offer a sense of joyous escapism, while nostalgic undertones invite you to go a little deeper, and discover, the underbelly of this whimsical world. My hope is that you may find your own stories and meanings within these pieces. That they lift your spirit and that you can both find and lose yourself in them, in the same way that I do.
