Following are descriptions of recent series:
"Momentos," June 2007 - Present
Collage and photo-collage mixed with blocks of acrylic paint on wood panels. This work frequently incorporates the use of text, and each piece captures a tiny story or moment.
"Storms: The Sonoran Desert and the Beara Peninsula," August 2006 - June 2007
This concept was prompted by the monsoon in the Sonoran desert. Complete opposites, yet the U.S. Southwest holds similarities to the West Coast of Ireland - the rugged extremes, the mountains, the connection with land. It's about the idea of a physical storm, but also an emotional storm, and the feelings associated.
