About
Of Irish nationality and based in Spain, I have been painting professionally since 2006. For many years architecture and the built environment were my main source of inspiration. Dublin city and the suburbs where I grew up were of particular interest to me. In the past two years, I have felt more inclined to paint the natural environment, such as the beautiful coastline where I live and my memories of African wildlife.
