By seeking the moment and light in various contexts, we can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Beauty is all around us, in shadows on walls, rusty wheelbarrows, on stones.

I try to look beyond the obvious beauty. I have been hugely drawn to the colours that I see in my every day.

I walk the beach most days and I adore the patterns that the natural sea elements leave for our eyes to see. Sometimes it’s not what you look at that matters but what you actually see. I blend my photography and watercolour inks together in creating some of my work. Sometimes its by sitting in on an evening with my two children doing art at the table that a new design can float in.

I love colours and how they can make you feel. I get inspiration from my children, the beautiful surroundings of sea, trees, bog land, mountains and rust. I can see landscapes in very unique places.

Tríd an nóiméad agus an solas a lorg i gcomhthéacsanna éagsúla, is féidir linn an gnáthnós a iompú isteach sa rud neamhghnách. Tá áilleacht timpeall orainn, i scáthanna ar bhallaí, bharraí rotha, ar chlocha, déanaim iarracht breathnú níos faide ná ar áilleacht fhollasach amháin. Táim an-tógtha leis na dathanna a fheicim timpeall orm gach lá. Bím ag siúl ar an trá beagnach gach lá agus is breá liom na patrúin a fhágann na heilimintí nádúrtha farraige os ár gcomhair. Uaireanta ní hé an rud a fhéachann tú air atá tábhachtach ach an rud a fheiceann tú i ndáiríre. Cumascaim chun cuid do mo shaothar a chrúthú i mo ghrianghrafadóireacht agus dúigh uiscedhatha le chéile. Uaireanta nuair a shuím tráthnóna le mo bheirt pháistí ag déanamh ealaíne ag an mbord, is féidir le dearadh nua teacht i láthair . Is breá liom dathanna, agus conas a bhraitheann siad tú. Faighim inspioráid ó mo pháistí, an timpeallacht álainn farraige, crainn, portaigh, sléibhte agus meirge. Is féidir liom tírdhreacha a fheiceáil in áiteanna àituala .
