‘For me art is a compulsion to connect with my surroundings, and create a sense of place.
The process of making art is born out of innate curiosity and excitement at phenomenal occurrences around me.’

Tarlaíonn rud éigint agus tú ag obair faoi dhoircheacht na hoíche faoi cheann tuí imbaile beag Chill Rialaig.  Braitheann tú na heilimíntí, an fharraige ag bun na haillle, an bháisteach ar an gceann tuí agus do chomharsain béal dorais ag obair leotha.  Agus tú fhéinig cois tine le blath breá móna, ag an am céanna dónn na tínte cnoic lasmuigh.  An obair a dheineann tú ann ní fhéadfá riamh an méid céanna a dhéanamh ag baile agus na nascanna a dhéanann tú leis na daoine timpeall ort, ní dhéanfaidh tú dearmad orthu go deo.’
