Petria Lenehan Outerwear made from Irish and British fabrics drawing on notions of authenticity, nature, craftsmanship and tradition. Made in Ireland and NYC. Lenehan paints in fluid acrylics and oils on both large scale canvas and smaller works on wood. Each work is the result of a continuous cycle of intuitive unfolding, a repeated process of layering and what she calls “unpainting” – where removal and reduction are often as important as the act of painting itself. There is a healing energy to discover in the work and an invitation to explore the elusive interplay that exists between the spiritual realms of the human experience and the physical world we inhabit.
