be as a result of growing up at the edge of a valley in East Donegal,
where I could see rolling hills as far as the eye can see into the North
and into West Donegal. Everything I paint is from time spent in different
places, whether it be my childhood home, an artist residency, or travel
abroad. Many times I bring several different places into one work, such
as the piece ‘Hyenas down in the Median Green’ has hyenas that I saw in
Ethiopia placed in a field in Donegal.’ AnnQuinn
