I am a self-taught artist. After fifteen years of working as a full-time professional painter, I have developed a distinctive style and repertoire, capturing the colour and atmosphere of the Irish landscape

I work from my gallery in Tralee in Co, Kerry in the west of Ireland where my work is on exhibition and my studio is open to the public. A prolific artist, I produce work for exhibition and to commission. My work has featured in numerous selected exhibitions and I have received many private and public commissions.

“When I came from an urban area in England to the open country side of Ireland at the age of ten the impact of the overwhelming beauty left me with a sense of awe that was to stay with me.
My work is a culmination of that experience of growing up in Kerry, the desire to share it and an inner yearning to paint- (as strong as the need to drink when thirsty!) The last fifteen years of working, sleeping and breathing painting have been a labor of love and a process of developing the skills and techniques I need to capture the beauty that I see and, hopefully, the passion that I feel. It is an ongoing process. I see no completion in that development. My work is a living, growing part of me or maybe I’m a living growing part of it “.
