Millrace Gallery

Millrace Gallery The Millrace Gallery, Blackrock, Co. Dublin, Ireland, displays the works of the Fermanagh-born Irish

Artist's statement:

A bog, a blackbird and a bicycle – an imagery of Fermanagh and early life of the self taught artist... It was a time later overshadowed by the "troubles” of Northern Ireland, but the woodland and fields provided a natural heaven, a place where simple ideas could germinate and later become the canvas. Even after much travels or periods abroad there isn’t a conscious attempt to

be "intellectual" or aloof. Like the poet Patrick Kavanagh or Keats, the fullness of nature and the human place in it provides more inspiration than academic theory. This for me doesn’t mean trying to copy the landscape, or the flowers in a vase, but to paint almost to discover what is so freely available in nature, as if one was seeking an answer to unlock the prisoner.
