BRENDA FLANNERY
Mayo-based seascape painter.
Gallery Wall: July – Aug 2023
A seascape painter based in Co Mayo, Brenda creates paintings inspired by the wild and abundant beauty of the rural landscape and miles of sandy beaches along the Wild Atlantic Way. Capturing light and atmosphere is at the core of her work. The sea is a consistency Brenda seeks out to ground and root herself and has the ability to produce feelings of peace and belonging, a sense of being ‘at home.’
Brenda believes, “The magical, fleeting essence of light is captured in her work so that we can contemplate the beauty and intensity of these transient moments a little longer before the temporality of the setting subsides and disappears to time”.
Brenda is a member of Visual Artists Ireland and have exhibited in solo exhibitions and as part of group exhibitions both nationally and internationally, including the RUA Annual Exhibition in Belfast and the SIM Gallery, Reykjavik, Iceland. Her work has been commissioned and purchased by many art collectors in Ireland, Europe, UK, and the US.
