The name for my site is from the poem 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree' by the Irish poet WB Yeats. All my paintings and drawings are based on the feelings I experience when I see something, sometimes fleeting, sometimes blurred, sometimes mystical. No, not really mystical but sometimes there is a moment when the light just hits something in a magical way, a sunset, a seascape, a field of wheat, a car or the ugliest building in town sparking a reaction in my mind .... ‘an mothú’, an Irish expression for 'the feeling' ... or to put it in simple terms, it caught my eye.
I try to paint and draw what inspires me, what causes me to
…. stop
…….. look
………… wonder
……………. and paint!

Strandhill People’s Market
Sligo Airport, Strandhill, Sligo, F91 DP6A
The Market is currently closed, potentially until early 2026.
Strandhill People’s Market has been one of the most vibrant, successful rural markets in the country — over 2,000 small businesses have traded there in the past 11 years. We support the Coast Guard service — we really do — but due to overlapping helicopter operations, the market has lost its home. This is not a protest, it’s a call for balance. A solution exists, and we just need government and airport stakeholders to help us find it. This is about protecting what works — for traders, for the community, and for Sligo.
You can sign the petition to support the efforts to reopen the market via the link below. This will take you ‘Change.org’.

Thanks for your support over 2024 and hopefully during 2025
