Acrylic and mixed media on cradled deep edge board

There’s something ancient and grounding about walking through untamed terrain, especially here in Ireland. The land holds stories—of weather, time, and quiet persistence—and when you're up there in the mountains, it feels like you're walking through layers of history and memory. The wind is stronger, the colours sharper, the silence deeper. Every bend in the path opens up to a new rhythm: a sweep of heather, a jagged rock face, light pouring through a break in the clouds. And that constant shift—that unpredictability—is what draws so many artists back to the landscape again and again.
