Ireland Residencies: The Burren College of Art is a small, independent art school situated on the Wild Atlantic Way on the west coast of County Clare in Ireland.
I’ve settled on the Burren area in County Clare on the west coast of Ireland as my primary place to participate in artist residencies. I find the area, people, colors, natural flora and fauna, geography and history inspirational and creative for me. It is my second home.
Below is a gallery of selected imagery which reflect the general area, my working space and process, and examples of work in progress.
