Bridget Ryan is an Irish artist who has exhibited her paintings nationally, as well as in England and the United States. In her art, she portrays the old houses, farm buildings, seascapes, lake scapes, and the landscapes of her native Connemara. Isolation is a central focus of Ryan's compositions and is used to convey the physical nature of the area and the sadness that surrounds the buildings, which often deserted, but still echo with the whispers of her ancestors.
