Welcome

Errisbeg is a small private studio, run by Mary Love and John Baylis Post, offering fine art prints and photographs, all of which are John's work. The images range widely in subject, but they include much Irish landscape (especially West Cork and Co. Kerry), some English landscape (especially Somerset), and a number of other personal favourites. Most pictures are giclée colour prints, but there are also monochrome photographs. Take a look!

All images are available for purchase, mostly as limited edition prints; details are given with each gallery and image.

John Baylis Post has had varied careers, including periods as a curator of medieval manuscripts, as mayor of a Somerset town, and as head of a district general hospital; he qualified both as an archivist and as a photographer. His family comes from south-east England, although his grandfather moved to Cork City in 1902, and he himself has, for many years, divided his time between England and Ireland. He has finally settled near Castletownbere, on the Beara peninsula, and spends his time in print-making and photography.

‘My own pleasure is in form and tone, geometry and colour: what matters to me is the visual delight, irrespective of subject. The artist, in any medium, cannot enhance the landscape, or the model, but tries, by isolating and interpreting particular elements, to convey new perceptions, moods, and ideas.’

We can also offer BED AND BREAKFAST to photographers, artists,and other visitors to our wonderful part of West Cork; check our Contact page for details.
