I would like to paint red poppies because: Everyone loves poppies. They are vibrant and cheerful and appear to make people feel happy. They are free-form - can be touched up easily if vandalised. They suggest vitality/freedom.
The Irish landscape is my greatest source of inspiration. I aim to capture the essence of its timeless beauty with a balance between abstract and representational imagery. I tell the story in paint recording the mood and feel-good memory.
