Lee Tiller
Born in 1960 and originally from England, for the last twenty four years Lee has lived amidst the mountains of the Macgillicuddy Reeks near the town of Kenmare. His studio is an old converted bothy that overlooks a glacial valley known locally as ‘The Pocket’.The natural majesty of the mountains with their dramatic terrain often leave an unsettled air of intimidation, but can conversely serenade you with a calming gentleness too. It is a magical place indeed.
His influences are many, but he is especially inspired by the great French Impressionists of the 19th Century like Monet, Pissarro, Caillbotte, Manet, and more recently the post impressionists like Bonnard and Van Gogh.
