Oisrí Grande


This is a picture I took of a ring I made last year. A friend had found an Oisrí shell and brought it in to me, it had this incredible shape, so I used it as a template to make this ring. I work from sheet silver and everything is cut out and then hammered into shape.
I manipulated the colour of the photograph later on with the computer.

Creation

Creation
Creation is a very textured piece, people are inclined to touch it, which is unusual for a painting I think, I know when I see a sculpture that I like I want to touch it, I think most galleries have it all wrong with all their signs of don't touch, work is made to be touched!

Poppies in the Wind

Poppies in the Wind
Poppies are my favourite flowers, simple and so vibrant. We all can identify them, are drawn to them. In each of our lives we all need to get away from our world, you can step into the painting and you are walking through the cornfield, the poppies welcoming you, it is a place of warmth and protection, you emerge relaxed in the knowledge that you have found a place to go whenever you need those moments of escape.
