Songs always have two elements - music plus lyrics/poetry - while painting usually consists of the purely visual. What Padraig Casey tries to do is marry the visual with the poetic, using Brian Flaherty's words to create "songs on canvas".

His poems have an ‘edgy' quality that Padraig particularly likes, a quality he hopes complements the visual element on the canvas. Brian's job allows him to travel the globe, notebook and camera in hand, something which is reflected in his work and provides Padraig with some pretty inspirational material.
