Robert Henri (1865-1929) was an American painter and teacher. Henri made several trips to Ireland's western coast and rented Corrymore House near Dooagh, on Achill Island, in 1913.
Paul Henry (1877-1958) was the son of a Baptist minister, born in Belfast. He studied art in Belfast before going to Paris in 1898 to study at the Académie Julian and at Whistler's studio.
I work in oils, using brushes and palette knives. For some paintings, particularly land and seascapes, I like to work quickly, always aiming to capture a spontaneity, a freshness in my work.
Since the summer of 1997, I have felt and been subjected to the west coast of Ireland, it has become familiar to me: the light, the subtle fluctuations of its earth, the capricious changeability of its water. I want to penetrate its surface and explore the deeper layers within.
