RED DINGHIES AWAITING TIDE

A richly textured oil painting of red dinghies resting on the mudflats at low tide. Scraped lines, pale coastal blues and deep navy passages give the work a sense of stillness before wind and water return.

BETWEEN SIPS

A dark, contemplative painting about old Irish men looking into their pints of Guinness, holding thoughts that will never quite be spoken. The porter becomes almost a mirror - a place for memory, silence, humour and grief to settle.

I DON’T LIKE BEING ANGRY

Dark, urgent, unresolved - and deliberately so. The red-black gestural marks carry real velocity, paint applied under pressure and left that way. This is not a painting about anger observed from a distance. It is anger given form.

THE MEMORY OF DAMAGE

An aerial landscape of dust, fracture and scar tissue, where the surface seems to contract around an old wound.
Tom and tattered rather than smooth, the painting carries the quiet aftermath of urban damage and human conflict.

SCORCHING NOON

Heat becomes structure; colour carries the weight of high summer.

PLOUGH UP

Rich autumn soil turns under a wide coastal sky, dark and red with the weight of the season. White flecks scatter across the field like gulls following the plough inland, drawn to the newly opened earth.

TUSCAN AFTERGLOW

Painted in Tuscany, this small oil painting evokes the quiet afterglow of evening over vine fields and dark, mineral soil. The cracked varnish and deep red centre give the work an aged, old-master quality, as though the landscape has been held in memory for years.

THUNDER AHEAD

The sky carries real physical weight - a vast, worked blue pressing down on land that has almost dissolved into black. Diagonal streaks of white cut through with velocity, the kind of marks left when the brush moves fast and doesn't stop to reconsider. A yellow charge of lightning holds in the distance, elemental and inevitable, caught in the long moment before everything changes.

UNCERTAIN WORLDS

Invites reflection not resolution, a call to confront unease.

Angry black marks and arcs carry the frantic energy of a world in political unrest: protests, broken systems, voices caught in the crossfire. Marginalised voices get overshadowed by louder narratives. And complex, unresolved forces shape an uncertain world. The crushed carbon elements leave a tangible residue, despair made physical, the weight of what remains when certainty collapses.
