Artist's Statement:

In painting I seek to reveal the extraordinary within the ordinary and to challenge established visual memories, as in those moments when light splinters and shatters across a space, transforming the familiar and the mundane. Similarly when shadows shift and grow to become more animated and substantial than their origins they imprint the surroundings like memories that are never accurate but hold some shape of the experience. Reflective surfaces also distort space in ways that mirror our modern concept of time, distorting the daily linear narrative into a flexible customised frame. We record and play back so much of our lives that sometimes it appears were are not living in real time but some form of simulation. In the French Horn series the bell of the horn appears to pull the space it reflects into the instrument in proportion to the music that can emanate from it; space and sound run counter current.

Veronica Bolay is known for her atmospheric landscapes and her inspired treatment of the elements. She draws a lot of her inspiration from her rural county Mayo surrondings. She is an academician at the Royal Hibernian Academy and was recently elected to Aosdana.

Margaret O'Sullivan attended the Crawford College of Art as a mature student and qualified with an honours degree in Fine Art in 1993. She also received a diploma in the History of Art at University College Cork in 2002.

Her work is informed by nature and the forces within nature. She works in situ in a variety of landscapes such as Allihies in West Cork, Cloghroe, Co. Cork, Achill Island, Co. Mayo. She also spends time working in Crete, Greece at regular intervals. At the moment she is working and living on Achill Island.
