Geraldine MacDonald is a Dublin born artist with a previous career in music and
song writing. Geraldine has been a full time painter working from her studio in
Dublin City Centre for over a decade. Geraldine’s experience of nature was awakened while living and growing up in Howth at a time when children were free to explore and discover its natural and unspoilt beauty. Her time spent in the of south of Spain, America, India and North Africa reopened her eyes to light and colour. In this exhibition Geraldine presents a selection of paintings and sculpture that are both figurative and abstract embodying a sense of the dream. In her paintings colour is a vital and informing energy and it is through this medium that she strives to explore and develop the inner core of her work. Geraldine creates a freshness of colour often using cerulean blues, naples yellow, sap green, pinks, violets, and textured black giving a luminosity and depth to her work. |
