In this heartfelt painting, a mother and daughter make their steady way home after a long day on the bog. The mother carries a full creel of turf upon her back - its weight earned through honest labour, while her young daughter walks closely at her side, matching her stride with quiet admiration.

The scene is steeped in the resilience of rural Ireland, where strength is measured not only in the work of one’s hands but in the endurance of the spirit. The soft evening light follows them along the path, illuminating their bond, one shaped by shared effort, love, and the unspoken lessons passed from one generation to the next.

“Strong in Mind, Strong in Spirit” is a tribute to the women who carried families, traditions, and the weight of everyday life with unwavering grace. Here, the journey home becomes a symbol of courage and connection, where hardship and hope walk together.
