The Avalonlady

  I painted this just before the winter solstice. It shows how working with energies like Reiki and Magic feels and looks like to me.

sketching Willie Clancy Festival

My favorite sketches selected from studies I made on the Willie Clancy  Festival in Miltown Malbay.

Sheela in progress

Went to my favorite shop to get whites and found myself a set of foxes bones. Always liked to make studies of bones.

One of my Shelas from the Gods series : The fear Shela na gig.
You pass threw her portal  by letting go of your fears. Than she will take all your pain and sorrow, everything shitty, the whole lot. No bother. If you concentrate on the eyes you will see your fear concentrate on the moon, you will let go.

work in progress

Workspace with several paintings. I always need to have at least 10 paintings i am working on.

Sketches of seals transforming into Selchie, part of a painting of the burning ship.

The Merman is 20 years old and just recently i decided he wasn’t finished. So he looks like this now. I need to only finish little details here and there and he can go and breath his own air.

4 stages of the Phoenix. Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. I find the 4 elements in it as well with earth, water, fire and air.

A quite funny one between my so serious work. I called it “Freediving” and everybody liking the water can surely relate to it. I think the pattern of people develops conveniently.

The first set up of a figure in stone.I like particulary the 3 dimensional look of the leg .

Growing wings. the first set up

While you are there, you might want to have a look at all the updates on my official website as well. In the visual art section, you’ll find two films of work before the year 2000. There is a first entry into the projects with documentation from the “Search for the divine female project” and some quotes in the text section. Cata Isle Mime Theatre updates under mime with easy to download brochure, the Irish Times front page and more photos featuring the solo show premiere in Temple Bar.

I like to give a big thank you to my indoorwebdesigner from Artvaark-design, Kilrush, who made all this possible.

Dragon

Here is the Dragon. You can print it easily cause it is black and white and fresh it up yourself. If ever somebody tries to sell it to you , should be me. Cheers.
