Sitting here on a Sunday afternoon with the sun is shining - I'm tying myself to my desk trying to play catch up with all kinds of things, because I have lots of news to share.   

Some of my news is that I have participated in two shortish movies about painting . .  One,  at 60 seconds is really really short - and rather sweet. It is called Dathanna (meaning "colours" in the Irish language). It was put together very fast by two young men. The TickTock lads have entered it into a competition run by Sony to tell a story in 60 seconds. 



If you hear no sound, there is a "volume" bar on bottom left, beside the play button. And, if you know how to, and are skilled in these matters, please do "share it" and "like" it. You can forward this email to a friend by clicking on the link     

The second one is a much bigger production (be maybe 8 -10 times longer) and being made collaboratively with Caroline Brennan of Giant Leap Productions and it is currently being lovingly edited.  If you have watched the short documentary, at the 58th second you will have seen me standing on one leg painting like a mad thing, with a canvas tied to fence post and the rain pelting down. So far, so normal . . . 

This is all in aid of my exhibition in Bray in the summer. The exhibition will be in the Signal Arts Centre and will run from Tuesday 20th June - Sunday 2nd July 2017. The opening reception is planned for Friday 23rd June from 7 - 9 pm.

life as an artist

I write about life as an artist and the challenges that this choice presents. I was born without arms in 1961 and this makes my painting demanding, my life stimulating and my choices complex. I like it like this.
