Artists Statement.
“Inspired by the landscape of Chorca Dhuibhne on the west coast of Ireland where I live, my work as both a tapestry artist and a print maker is on the theme of living on the edge between Land and Sea - Planet Earth and Space - Past, Present and Future. I am interested in line and colour.”
