Introduction Art is in my blood. My mother and many of my aunts and cousins are artists, so there's been no escaping it's influence in my life. I am a self taught, self doubting artist and hungry to learn. Previously I have worked mainly in pen and ink and in watercolor however more recently I decided to concentrate on working in oil. I'm emulating the daily painter movement. An ever growing number of painters who are committed to the discipline of creating one small painting every day or almost every day. I paint a painting most every day or other day and it's my plan to post here frequently over the coming months. Lets see how it goes..
Interests Favorite Artists: Lucian Freud, Jack B Yeats, Rothko and I really enjoy Carol Marine from the daily painter’s movement. Favorite City: Dublin of course Favorite things to do: Walk with my dog, sit with my cats, run with my kids. Paint, go to see theatre, read fiction, read other art blogs, play on my iphone (yes how annoying). Least favorite things to do: Clean, get out of bed once in it.
Favorite Movies Cinema Paradiso, The Last Mohican
Favorite Music Music is my constant. At the moment my top favorites are Alexi Murdoch, Snow Patrol, The Weepies, Death Cab for Cutie, Iron and Wine, Van Morrison, Iain Archer, Bob Dylan. I listen to Radio Paradise.com when I paint.
Favorite Books I read veraciously but in phases. I also host a monthly book club with some of the most interesting and varied women you will meet anywhere. We read well written (yes I know that’s subjective) modern fiction.
