Paintings of Ireland and Irish landscapes

After graduating from the Cork School of Art, I began to paint professionally the beautiful landscape, the simple events and the everyday people that is the true Emerald Isle. Whether it's my mother's house nestled in the hills or an old man walking through the meadow, or simply the places and the people that I see, I know I have to paint them, to preserve them on canvas, to capture the essence that is Ireland.

Even though I'm living on Cape Cod now, I return to Ireland frequently to sketch and paint. All of my paintings reflect a love of my homeland and respect for my country-men and women. All of us who are Irish or simply love Ireland are bound together by that love for this land of soft green hills and valleys, of windswept rocky coastlines, and for the welcoming smoke that rises from the hearth of an Irish home.

Since I paint with oils, the realism of what I see can be captured by my brush, and my fond familiarity of the subject breathes life into the painting.

I hope you enjoy my paintings. Each one is uniquely Irish and I'm happy to be able to share them with you.
