A visit to the atmospheric St Finnbars Oratory and Holy Well inspired this painting. I discovered the lake had been used by the Celts to drive sick cattle across to effect a cure. I imagined this happening just before dawn.

  • My paintings reflect a stay of ten days in Eire last march. I attended a four-day artist retreat run by the talented Irish artist Pauline Agnew and then travelled the Wild Atlantic Way between Cork and Bantry Bay. I employed my usual working method of making sketches, small gouache paintings, and altered photographs to use as aide memoires before starting work in my studio

    In my work I am very interested in the invisible thread that connects us to nature. I started to feel that the local people seemed refreshingly connected to the landscape. There seemed to be a spiritual charge revealed by the working of the land, customs and links to folklore, Celtic myths and old beliefs. I felt that a number of beautiful places I visited were liminal spaces, mysterious and other-worldly, linked to the present through time and history. In my paintings I invite you, the viewer, to step inside this liminal space to feel our interconnection with nature and the landscape.
