Susan Morley Watercolour Artist

I have had a great interest for many years in Megaliths & ancient sacred sites, particularly in Ireland. They hold a universal appeal, & their symbolism, especially that of the dolmen, is very powerful. As a watercolourist, I find this medium very well suited to expressing the spirit of these magical places.

I believe my paintings, which represent the spiritual nature of this land, are a timely response to the crumbling values of the late 20th century, & the present sense of disillusion with our linear culture. People are turning in increasing numbers to a new awareness that there are energies & forces that need understanding & expression. Artists like myself have tuned in to this expression. In a way, it’s a movement begun by mystic artists such as W.B.Yeats & George Russell AE in 20th century Ireland

“ ... artists are shamen who cross through the portals into the underworld. The greatest modern shamen must, therefore, investigate those particular underworld centres that were created in truly ancient times, before cities, taxes & other neuroses obscured the essential reasons for our being here.”

Julian Cope "The Megalithic European"
