I'm an Irish artist who has lived in USA, Europe and Australia I now live in the South East of Ireland where there is inspiration all around. Work in a variety of mediums acrylics, oils, watercolours, pencil, chalks, pastels and charcoal and I choose the media to compliment the subject. My recent work features abstract forms and more layered and textured pieces. I am loving expressive abstract styles and experimenting. I recently discovered using oils with cold wax and enjoy the experience of using new materials. Life is about love, loss and learning and these are the themes that interest me right now. My aim is that you enjoy viewing my art and for it to say something to you.

Artist's Statement
Painting for me is a way to express thoughts, emotions and mood. Each piece is a visual expression of an emotion or mood at a particular moment in time. I aim to create work which illicits a strong reaction. It is this response, whether positive or negative, which is important to me as I feel a painting should provoke an emotive response.
My earlier paintings were representational depictions of people, places and nature. While I still love portraiture and painting from life, I have found that as I continue to paint I am movings towards non-representational, more expressive work.
I build the paint in layers, often stripping back layers to create texture and shape. I like to combine media such as acrylics and oils, or watercolour and pastel. The tools I use depend on the painting but generally I use brushes, palette knives and my fingers.
