A Beautiful Stillness
Nature. Beauty. Calm
Where I stand
Nature
It’s our home. We don’t own it.
All living things yearn for life. We can support and care for them as they do.
We’re stewards, not masters.
Beauty
I believe in beauty. It’s everywhere. We just have to remember to look.
Art reminds us of beauty.
It lifts us, for a moment, out of time. It lets us pause in front of the best of being alive.
Calm
The world is frantic.
We’re constantly distracted.
I paint from a place of calm. I return to my centre and experience what it is to be truly alive right now.
I invite you to do the same.
Tithing
I donate 10% of the money I make through Fanad Art to organisations that do good in the world:
- alleviating poverty in Fanad
- supporting refugees to settle in Ireland (Donegal Intercultural Group)
- regenerating coastal landscape in Fanad (Fanad Coastal Group)
- emergency relief to those suffering through war, famine or natural disaster (focused on Gaza in 2025)
At the end of the year I’ll put an outline here of what donations I made and who I made them to.
