About This Image

When I spotted Galway Cathedral rising above the River Corrib on my first day in Galway, I assumed the church was quite old, possibly even Medieval. The church is very classical in shape, drawing heavily from Renaissance style architecture. But I soon discovered the cathedral was built over an old prison on Nun’s Island in the 20th century. It was dedicated in 1965 and is officially named Cathedral of Our Lady Assumed into Heaven and St. Nicholas. So Galway Cathedral is actually a relatively modern piece of architecture that does a really great job of living up to the fine old European cathedrals that no doubt inspired it.

Yet even in this fog-filled image, you can see there are some quite modern lines in that beautiful stone church. Check out that arch over the doorway – what a great curving and flowing line it has.  The cathedral definitely combines the old and the new in architectural styles quite well.

One of my favorite memories of Galway Cathedral will always be seeing its copper dome barely visible in the thick fog. This print has an ethereal sense to it. It feels as if the cathedral might suddenly vanish into the foggy air, like some sort of mirage in the night. The warm glow from the street lamps are the only thing anchoring the large church into our world at all.

This photo-art piece was based on a photo from my night wandering in a freezing winter fog. The air was cold and damp but my spirits were never higher. It was just insanely beautiful how the fog painted our world so differently than in the bright light of day. Don’t you agree?

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.
