This painting will form part of a new collection for my solo exhibition at the Solas Art Gallery next year.
Here I will be transformed into the storyteller, 'Cailleach Feasa'. So with the swish of my palette knife, I will magically translate old stories and common tales into extraordinary images on canvas.
Maria Noonan-McDermott's work is highly original; her creative and imaginative one-off pieces ensure her reputation for innovative and inspiring artwork that is eminently collectable and truly unique.
Maria currently works from her studio in Co. Leitrim. She has been painting for over twenty years and is well established and respected having contributed successfully to many gallery and public exhibitions throughout her career.
Her work, she says,
"...is about searching for the ultimate statement through colour and form, giving her paintings a voicebox for the inner soul we all possess, spiritual and mysterious."
Her style is distinctly recognisable as she paints with knife, confidently applying layer upon layer, enhancing the quality of light and movement and allowing the texture of the paint to play a key role in the structure of her work.
On show her paintings demand attention, grip the imagination and reward the curiosity of our senses.
