| Introduction | I love art. I think of myself as an artist, even though I've have a finger in many pies. In August 2011, I decided to start a blog , really so that I record all the artystuff that I've been directly involved in or that I enjoy. I think in pictures. I’m very taken with nature and organic things. Sometimes , an idea won’t leave my head , until I put it onto paper . I enjoy working with different materials, and usually whatever I’m working on , will direct whatever media I use , be it drawing , painting, photography , installation, mixed media. Creating art which is new and alive, from recycled papers which were tired and discarded also engages me. I love making papers. I spent many years as a healthcare worker, while continuing to work professionally as a visual artist , when I could. These are exciting times in Ireland, and the whole area of Arts in Healthcare and Community Settings is becoming a much recognised and valued area in healthcare. Arts have the potential to transform our healing and healthcare experiences. |
