Grá (Love) - Original on Canvas

€650.00

Grá (pronounced graw) is the Irish word for love. For me, the Ha’penny Bridge in Dublin carries a very personal meaning. It was here, on our first date at a comedy gig in the Ha’penny Bridge pub, that something began…. a meeting that would grow into marriage, family, and the life we now share. Since then, this bridge holds great meaning for me two people connecting, two paths meeting in the middle and choosing to move forward together.

In a city shaped by crossings, the bridge stands quietly over the river Liffey, a constant reminder that love isn’t about grand gestures, its about showing up again and again and again.

As with all my pieces, it is accompanied by a poem:

“In a world of maybes, you were the certainty. Through laughter and storms, you stood steady, a bridge between where I was and where I was always meant to be.”
