Lough Na Fooey (‘Lake of the winnowing winds’) is a small glacial valley lake ringed by steep sides just over the Partry mountains on the far end of Lough Mask.

Limestone Pavement, Lough Mask. A new plate
April 26, 2017
The limestone shoreline on our side of Lough Mask looks like a pavement made from slabs of exposed rock, the blocks separated by narrow, shallow fissures. When the winter floods sink back, the lake leaves a thin film of white silt which settles into time/water eroded sharp-edged small holes or cups in the limestone. Chunks […]

#twitterartexhibit 3 years: Ivy and her predecessors
March 5, 2016
Introducing ‘Ivy’ the 2016 #Twitterartexhibit ….alongside the 2014 and 2015 submissions. I like the challenge of a ‘postcard’ sized print – normally working on a large scale, and with the class of image I’m drawn to it’s difficult to avoid going twee when you go small! The other good part is small plates are so beautifully easy […]
