I grew up in the countryside in Stranorlar in south-east Donegal. I met my husband John in 1994 and moved to Barnesmore in the south-west. Our favourite way to enjoy a day off was to explore all around the county. John passed away suddenly in 2014 and it was then that photography and its invitation to explore the natural raw beauty around me helped clear the head and mend the heart a little bit. Somehow it rekindled my creativity and became a part of the healing process, so our journey together continues through my photographs.
Exploring Donegal at different times of the day and in different seasons is what inspires me and rewards me with those special moments of being a photographer. I believe in creating photos by choice and yet there is a magic in finding a photo opportunity by chance. Add a sunrise or sunset, and the land, sea and sky collide in a kaleidoscope of colour!
My hope is that you will enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed capturing them!
