自我介绍

I discovered my passion for Art activities early in life and haven’t looked back since. Art College taught me the fundamentals of art, but it’s the journey of life that provides me with my inspiration. I feel my Paintings are very intuitive and personal. Inspired by beautiful friendships, people I love, and even Angels if like. i guess they reflect my own Timeline of life and who inspired me along the way. In the process of painting I have found ways to explore and develop a greater inner spiritual connection to myself and our external world. Its by far my favorate thing to do. I Love that it helps me discover more about myself and all the meaniful connections in my life. My exhibition of original oil Paintings hangs in the two large reception rooms of Cregg Castle. I call it my “Gallery of Angels”. It’s a dream space to have my own permanent solo show. I took on Cregg Castle after it was locked up for 4 years. Over the past years now. orgionally I managed it as a artists residence and hosted music events and currently more cultural events, photo shoots and film and my Art Gallery. I have two rooms for Airbnb guests, many are foreign visitors. They are all delighted to come and stay in a real Irish Castle. https://www.airbnb.ie/rooms/7479769?preview (Website hidden by Air My Cat - Pixie is the Queen of the Castle and the horses I feel are a big contribution to the long history of positive and healing energy here. . I feel we all need to simplify our lives, to our basic needs and have time to enjoy the - true simple pleasures and treasures in life. I reckoned if I take care of the Castle the Castle will take care of me. My other passion “Butterfly Wings” Therapeutic Painting Workshops Discover and understand what motivates You so you can create real positive change in your life While you create your very own original oil paintings. I, Alan Murray have fused together my knowledge and skills of Neuro Linguistic Programming - NLP (Master Practitioner), Time Line Therapy (Practitioner) and Fine Art.(Dip. in Painting) to create a Painting Workshop that is truly a therapeutic experience. My workshops are provided in the historic and magical setting of Cregg Castle which sits on 180 acres of mature woodlands and pasture in Corandulla Co. Galway. The full day one to one workshop aims to create an enjoyable opportunity for you to get in touch with your inner self. Discovering many new and exciting things about yourself, you will have the freedom and opportunity to create real positive changes in your life, while at the same time exploring the medium and process of oil painting. The attitude is based on NLP and the structure adapts the process of Time Line Therapy which allows you to see the possibilities and feel the benefits of change in your life. This motivates you to become more open and encourages you to deal with any issues that may not be helping you to achieve your goals. By uncovering the negative emotions and limiting decisions that have built up over the years from your previous experiences in life you can then begin the process of lightening the load of unwanted baggage. The process of the workshop gives you the opportunity to create and express yourself through a number of images, which are personal but simply visual representations of your unique model of the world - past, present and future. This powerful imagery may be abstract to another however to you the painter it is full of messages to one-self, insight and private details, thoughts and emotions which are presented to you in your art by your choice of colour, line, form and symbols. Physically and emotionally painting your unique Timeline shows you how you store time which revels many things in itself. Painting away throughout the day with the intension to create positive change in your life creates a wonderful feeling of self-awareness and self-respect giving you a sense of control over your well-being. Hence your imagery becomes enriched, embodied, empowered and meaningful to only you. You will discover important connections, develop new conscious decisions and most importantly discover new learning’s, which can allow you to let go of trapped unwanted negative emotions attached to your past memories. The process of painting is easy, even if you have never painted before, all that is needed, is for you to just relax, enjoy and embrace the Now. This is not about creating a pretty picture it’s about awareness and understanding of one-self, which will be a tool for life. As it is here in the Now where all learning, behaviour and change takes place. You can then choose a more informed and positive outlook for what you wish to achieve and work with putting smart goals in place. This creates a more focused self-fulfilling map of potential, positively changing aspects of your life for that brighter more vibrant future you deserve. It’s wonderful as you have this painting of your timeline to bring home so that the process can continue for you as long as it is needed, for you to achieve your goals and live a happier life. This workshop is a One to One session, a full day from 10 – 6.which takes place at the Castle. All equipment and materials provided, at a cost of 120 Euro.
