Art Show at the John Jermain Memorial Library – Paintings by Roisin Bateman
Roisin Bateman grew up on the Connemara coast in the west of Ireland and presently resides in Sag Harbor, NY. Bateman describes the contrast between “dark moody skies with rolling clouds…” of the Connemara coast and the “…the more light-reflective – large expanses of sandy shore and flat farmland” of Eastern Long Island and states that “The juxtaposition of these two environments creates a tension and a balancing of forces, which provide a very rich soil from which to create form and expression.”
Her paintings are influenced by the forces of both landscapes.
