Clare Island


Polranny is the place where you get away from your normal life, relax and concentrate on your work as an artist, writer, musician or academic. Pirate Peti made this beautiful drawing of nearby Clare Island, as seen from Clew Bay.

HAPPY 2009!





The Pirates and their associates and friends love celebrations. And what better way than to work together on a painting of our headquarters amidst their wondrous landscape. This beautiful gift to the house will be awaiting our visitors, both Pirate and otherwise.

Becoming at One With Nature


This abandonned Morris Oxford once belonged to Pirate neighbours Peggy and Hughie Cattigan. Here, it is slowly becoming a part of the landscape.

A Typical Irish Holiday; Part 3


I've been sitting here for five minutes...

...without doing anything...
...without thinking of work...

...I should really try to make
a comic strip about it..

Pirate Private View


Willem (on the right) plus guest


A celestial presence

Last Sunday, art lovers from as far away as Dublin gathered at the house of Pirate friends Willem and Doutsje for a viewing of Willem’s lyrical paintings of Mayo. Tea, wine and delicious quiche and cakes were served, the craíc was great and an excellent time was had by one and all. The main topic of conversation was our hosts’ imminent departure for Holland, for an exhibition of Willem’s work, and then France where plans are afoot for a book about their extraordinary garden, aptly known as the Achill Secret Garden.
