Living and working on Ireland’s east coast in County Wexford, my practice centres on the shifting volatility of the Irish Sea. Through acrylic and oil painting, I explore the tension between atmosphere and impact — the charged stillness before a storm breaks.

The sea, for me, is not a backdrop but a force. It embodies instability, rhythm and psychological intensity. My work focuses on dramatic light transitions, dense cloud formations and the physical weight of water. Using layered paint and expressive mark-making, I attempt to convey both movement and suspension — moments where energy gathers but has not yet released.

These seascapes are not documentary; they are meditations on power, fragility and endurance within the Irish coastal landscape.

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 and Green Acres Gallery, Wexford.

Romayne draws her inspiration from the natural world, with a particular love for landscapes and 
seascapes. Working from Ireland’s east coast, Romayne paints seascapes that explore the tension between stillness and release. Through layering and expressive mark-making, Romayne focuses on moments where light fractures across turbulent water — where atmosphere becomes force.
