Biography
After several years working abroad in Art and Antiques I returned to IreIand with my family. From 2012 I began to devote more time to my art practice, working in various media from acrylic inks to oil and cold wax layers. I endeavor to convey the emotional impact of standing before nature, surrounded by the ancient cliffs and rugged terrain that have borne witness to countless tales of resilience and endurance. Through the interplay of form, texture, and dynamic compositions, I invite the viewer to immerse themselves in the powerful energy and enigmatic allure of the Irish landscape.
