In Clare Reilly’s new exhibition, ‘Dance of Life’ she expresses the resilience and tenacity to keep finding joy and beauty in the natural surroundings. Especially in the hard times, when confronted by the big challenges in life, that we must all pass through at some stage.

There are events, such as the death of a loved one, that can turn our lives upside down. Finding strength in nature can help us to stay connected and grounded and bring a sense of being part of the dance of life.

These paintings are meditations on the quiet moments, where we can step away from everyday stress and become fully present and find a sense of peace.

They are an invitation to breathe in the moment and dance with life.
