My work is inspired by the natural world. Its beauty
and its cruelty. Its hostility and its hospitality. Its paradoxes
and its contrasts. When looking at nature, one can't help but see
its destruction at the hands of humans. It is virtually impossible
to find unspoiled nature. Our planet's ecological balance has been
severely compromised, and phenomena such as global warming and the
deterioration of the ozone layer affect every inch of the planet. I
feel strongly that each of us must use the tools at our disposal to
preserve and restore the natural world. As an artist, I employ
visual language to address these issues with the goal of awakening
interest and inspiring my audience to action. I also work with
groups such as the IPCC ( Irish Peatland Conservation Council), and
biologists, to learn more about each series' subject in order to
better understand and communicate its essence. Those who cannot be
reached by depressing news about the dire state of our world may be
reached by images of its beauty (Ansel Adams successfully showed
this) and the threat imposed on it. Art has the power to make one
see things in a new light. It allows us to develop a love for places
and things that we would otherwise not have noticed, or thought of
as ugly or boring. It helps us discover the beauty of the ocean
floor, the dirt that is bog, the bark of a tree.
Approach
Rather than re-creating a landscape on a canvas, I aim to express
its essence. Obviously, no single work can hope to distill the
complex spirit of a landscape, much less the infinitely
sophisticated ecology that sustains it. So, in order to capture this
richness, I work on a large number of paintings concurrently. This
allows me to transport strong elements and effective techniques from
one piece to the next. Each multi-layered rendering shares some
details with the other works in the series. The overlap of elements
enriches each individual expression and deepens the cohesion within
the series. Ultimately, each piece captures some fragment of the
landscape's power until the larger body of work coalesces to express
its deepest essence.
