Portfolio
Where To?
Illustrating William Shakespeare’s query, “Where-to,” a ? evolves in the image of the drover also asking, where to as the cattle trod the highway driving over a fragmented coastline toward a turbulent ocean and thence, into space. Cavorting cherubs frolic in the heavens as a satellite seeks the sun and beyond… to where?
Bunratty Castle:
Spanning an era of time from the 15th century to the present is the experience awaiting the visitor to the Bunratty estate. From the serenity of the swans on the Bunratty River to the depiction of Ireland through the centuries prompts the patron to quaff a goblet of mead in salutation to the past, present, and future of this special place.
Twilight Glow:
A collie tends sheep in the mountains and vales of the southwest of Ireland where the setting sun glows on the land and sea.
Winds of Change:
The Winds of Change, worldwide, are depicted in the events of the Ireland of the past three centuries with the current gradual reunification of the north and the south.
