'I started drawing at an early age. The old Celtic legends held a fascination for me so I illustrated the stories of the Fir Bolg and the Tuatha De Dannan when I should have been completing my homework! In high school I took art classes with a brilliant teacher, Mr Chris Casey, who I emulate in my teaching of young people.
In third level, I studied Animation and then went on to complete my studies in Visual Communications. When I started my artistic career, I continued to evolve my style and passion for art, moving from traditional to digital art to express myself creatively. I spent many years teaching art to young people and also as an Art Therapist, to pass on some of the love and passion I have for art.
Though I work quite deliberately, consciously employing the skills & techniques I have learned through years of work, my imagination is the undisputed driving force. Each project often consists of multiple works grouped around specific themes and meanings. During research and production new areas of interest arise and lead to the next body of work. My last project was a series of pencil drawings based on the captured spirit of man.
Working in the digital marketing industry for the past few years exclusively has meant all my creativity is channeled through my work in video creation, graphic design and clever marketing strategies.

Drawing is my yoga, my meditation, my therapy, my time for myself. It is from deep within me. Drawing is my love, quite simply, there is nothing else I would rather do.....'
