Mairead O’Neill Laher
Terrain
These expressive and abstract paintings focused on landscape features and the ideas that develop from exploring them. By using colour and the fluidity of the paint, O’Neill Laher conveyed a strong sense of place and captured the energy that pulsates through nature. The paintings were imbued with the dynamism and force of nature and have evolved through working with the observed landscape and the influence of half remembered landscapes from memory.
