Abstract Landscape Paintings
What began during an awarded artist residency in the west of Ireland evolved into five years of dedicated work.
During my residency at Cill Rialaig in Co. Kerry, I began creating abstract landscape paintings. I felt a strong urge to take my work in a new direction, and the residency provided that opportunity. The rugged, stone-filled landscapes surrounding me became both the inspiration and the focus for this series of paintings.

Why choose abstract landscape paintings?
Abstract landscape painting is a modern approach to art that captures the essence and beauty of natural landscapes in a non-representational style. Unlike traditional landscape painting, which strives for realistic depictions of specific places, abstract landscape painting offers a unique perspective, emphasizing an expressive interpretation of nature’s beauty. Abstract painting is at the core of my painting practice and here’s why!
What materials are used to make your paintings?
Each painting is created with oil paint, oil bars, and charcoal. These paintings are available in a variety of sizes to suit any space in your home. Each is framed in house by Art Bench. Fine art prints of these works are also available, please get in touch.
What inspires your original abstract landscapes series?
I grew up on the edge of The Burren, in Co. Clare on the west coast of Ireland. The Burren and an art residency with a view of the Skellig Islands in Co. Kerry, also in the west of Ireland inspired this series of abstract landscape works.
Both landscapes boast a captivating palette of soft greys, deep blues, and hints of purple, complemented by the rich greens of moss and algae. During the right season, the area comes alive with bursts of bright pinks and yellows from its unique flora. This colour palette, so intrinsic to the west of Ireland, was not one I originally gravitated toward in my studio. However, it has become a cornerstone of my work, challenging and inspiring me as I’ve translated its vibrancy and complexity into my art.
