BIRDS and PLANTS

The meeting point of land and sea, life at the edge, a fusion of water, birds and plants. The Celts thought of birds as messengers from the otherworld; a metaphor for departing souls. Impressionistic marks and freely applied veils of paint are combined with detailed observation of imagery symbolic of our connection with the natural world.
