At the Edge of Place - 2026
AT THE EDGE OF PLACE
Paintings shaped by memory, weather, and scale in Canada
At the Edge of Place brings together a body of paintings shaped by time I spent in Canada, especially Alberta. These works are not travel views or descriptive records of place. They grew out of memory, weather, scale, and the emotional residue of lived experience.
Made after a period of grief and change, the paintings hold onto moments that stayed with me long after I had left them. Mountains, snow, water, light, and small human traces became ways of thinking about awe, stillness, and what I think of as psychological weather.

Belonging: A Quest For Home
First presented at Scariff Library Gallery, Co. Clare, Ireland, Belonging: A Quest for Home brought together paintings exploring memory, displacement and the emotional need to belong. Across layered surfaces, fragmented figures and recurring horizons, the exhibition considered what we carry from the places and people that have shaped us.
