Have you ever peered into a rock pool—really peered? As a boy exploring the beaches of Dublin or Kerry, I was endlessly captivated by them. Those tiny worlds held so much life – vibrant colours, strange textures and shapes, a glimpse of life after the tide recedes. A few years ago, while walking on a beach in Brittany, I came across some fascinating pools that rekindled that childhood wonder.

If I’m completely honest, it was actually the child in me that painted Rockpool 1.
