My paintings explore landscape as an emotional space rather than a fixed location. Through shifting skies, dissolving horizons, and reflective water, I am interested in capturing fleeting states of atmosphere — moments where light appears suspended between calm and storm.

Light plays a central role within these pieces. It emerges through darkness rather than existing separately from it, creating a tension between weight and illumination. The reflective surfaces within the paintings act almost as moments of pause — spaces of stillness beneath turbulent skies.

These works are not intended as depictions of specific places, but as contemplative environments that invite emotional connection.

BIOGRAPHY 
Romayne Farrell has been painting for over fifteen years, developing her practice initially in acrylics 
before more recently embracing the richness and depth of oil painting. She is a member of the North 
Wexford Art Group, who meet weekly at the Gorey School of Art, where shared learning and 
creative exchange continue to shape her work.  She has recently exhibited in Art in the Ballroom in Powerscourt Estate, Green Acres Gallery, Wexford, Pigyard Gallery Wexford, and Presentation Arts Centre Enniscorthy.

Romayne draws her inspiration from the natural world, with a particular love for landscapes and 
seascapes.  Romayne paints landscapes that explore the tension between stillness and release, through layering and expressive mark-making and where atmosphere becomes force.
