BIO

I am originally from County Limerick but have been living in Clare for a number of years.

As a water media artist, I work in watercolour, inks and acrylics. My creative journey began in watercolours more than 30 years ago. My inspiration is drawn from the rugged landscapes along the western seaboard including the islands off the Irish coast. When I sit down to paint the subject, I try to capture the mood and beauty of the surrounding landscape using a palette of earthy tones in my own unique style.

Trees are one of my favourite painting subjects and are enchanting to depict throughout the seasons, some of my latest studies include watercolour washes with pen and inks.
Recently I have diversified and using acrylic pour techniques I create abstract works.
I have been involved in many group exhibitions as a member of Inis Artists and some past venues include Glor (Ennis), Grainstore at Ballymaloe, Index Gallery in Waterford and Dunamaise Art Centre, Portlaoise to name a few. I previously exhibited at the Ardmore Gallery and Lucy Erridge Gallery, Adare.

My work is included in many private collections in Ireland, Australia, United Kingdom, America and Taiwan.
