The Waters and the Wild

In 2019 I built a canoe and paddled it the length of Ireland via a network of rivers and canals.

Setting out from the shores of Lough Erne in Northern Ireland I navigated a 400km journey to the island's southern coast. The wildlife I encountered became a subject of endless fascination and feature here in a series of lino and woodcut prints. A limited edition of prints are available for sale through my online shop.
