Professional Artist Inspired by Nature

Bridget Ryan portrays old houses, farm buildings and the landscapes and seascapes of her native Connemara.  The resulting pieces do not conform to the traditional model of landscapes, but come from her own inner perspective of the unique character of those historic structures and the sparse, often desolate atmosphere of the surrounding countryside. Isolation is a central focus of these works, and is used to convey the physical nature of the area and the sadness that surrounds the buildings, often now deserted and crumbling, but with the whispers of our ancestors still abounding inside.
