Nuala McEvoy discovered her passion for painting relatively late in life, so she tries to work quickly to make up for lost time. Acrylic paint is quick to dry, so it forces her to work speedily, and she generally uses acrylics and pen on canvas. She mostly tries to recreate cities where she has lived, places she has visited, or places she has seen in books. She works from memory and her pieces blur the boundaries between imagination and reality, while her use of color reflects the hidden depths of creative power.
