Artist Statement

My life in rural Ireland and time spent in urban areas of America has influenced the subject of my paintings. I notice how the city encroaches upon the empty landscape. This reflects how our surroundings affect our physical selves. These dichotomies have become the force behind my abstract work.Gertie Mellon -2
