The Blasket Islands still haunt me a year after I visited. An artist residency in the west coast of Ireland, led me to create many paintings, and this is the latest.
Multiple books have been written about this island and the life families lived, before the young people’s exodus to America.

I painted this version on reclaimed plywood panels using acrylic paints and inks. They sit inside a natural wood frame. The painting can be hung flush with the wall or standing on a shelf, fireplace or desk.
