I had the pleasure of being in Ireland for an arts residency with Atelier Arts in April 2024.. My first time away after eight years of being a caregiver to my mother. I was so happy to be there. When I wasn't touring the beautiful counrtyside with the other artists or laying down in the grass, I was painting. Enjoy!

This is where I stayed for the residency. The beautiful Westcove Manor at the top of the hill by the edge of the sea. The fog was lifting to reveal the manor and teh bright yellow gorse as the tide was out in the cove. So beautiful. Ah, Ireland.
