One dream, one leap of faith, inspired by the sacred wisdom inherent in trees and one truly grateful artist who now looks back at the success that is The Sacred Lives of Trees.
The Sacred Lives of Trees exhibition took place at Carlow Library in winter of 2016. People said the leaves were never so vibrant in the fall as they have been in this year.
This collection of colourful paintings is my way of paying tribute to the solace and wisdom I have received from nature and trees in particular. As far back as 2007 I had been accumulating ideas for my Sacred Tree collection.
My Sacred Trees attracted sponsorship and funding from wonderful kind-hearted people from far and near. Throughout my campaign and during the exhibition itself, I witnessed a homage to trees by people from all walks of life and some whom I had never connected with previously.
Amidst global turmoil, visitors to the exhibition noted that now, more than ever, our connection with nature is vital.
The Sacred Tree paintings are now finding their way into loving homes.
My on-line gallery awaits new owners of paintings and limited edition prints.
I created a personal tour of the exhibit especially for you in this video.
Through my art and writing I share stories and inspiration for transformation, healing and dreams turning to reality. When you visit my gallery you glimpse my journey, my authentic path. It took a ‘Break True’ moment to point me towards developing my artistic talents. It’s never too late to make a new start. I’ve achieved a lot in a relatively short time. My work has been presented in New York as part of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, has been displayed on county Post Office and has been show-cased on National TV. Read more about my art journey here.

I contacted Caroline by phone a few days prior to the visit & soon the painting entitled ‘Mind the Gap’ was born. It was well received in New York as was her poem of the same title. I cannot recommend Caroline highly enough. She’s a fund of talent with great ability in going that extra bit further.

Vibrant & Radiant
Caroline’s use of colour makes even a naked winter tree look vibrant and radiates in any room graced with her art.
Caroline’s ‘Break True’ art piece is so well defined even in it’s title, representing a moment of awakening. It’s a striking work depicting true nature, light and shadow and the courage it takes to push through with authenticity. I’m also the proud owner of Caroline’s artwork & books and she is featured in my own book entitled Dreaming Doors.
