About This Image

Before I even reached the Aran Islands, there was something about them that called to me. I had read about life on the islands and how isolated life on the Aran Islands had once been. Late into the 20th century, life on the islands was still catching up to the outside world. It’s a place where the first tongue of locals is normally still Irish Gaelic. A somewhat walkable destination, too, it sounded like an amazing place.

I spent several nights on Inis Mór, the largest of the three Aran Islands off the Irish West coast in Galway Bay. And it was a genuine peak into what rugged world inhabited by the people who long ago made their homes on this windswept and rocky landscape. Most of my time there, the winds howled and the rain swept through as if trying to wash people from the island once more. It was genuinely a feeling of being at the edge of the world.

People have called the rugged landscape of the Aran Islands home reaching back into prehistory. There are still prominent remains of Iron Age life on the islands today and this landscape view is from the largest of those Iron Age structures, Dun Aengus. It’s a real feel for the rocky-strewn land Irish people have called home for so many generations. Granted this is the view on a picture perfect day!

And maybe that picturesque day explains why people have called the Aran Islands home for so long. The weather may be frightful, but when it’s not, this is the way your world looks!

Have you visited the Aran Islands yourself or do you simply adore rugged coastal landscapes like this one?

    So beautiful and true of what Dun Aenghus is spiritually.

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
