I graduated in Fine Art (Painting) from the Crawford School of Art and Design, Cork in 1983.

Since then I have worked briefly in the printing industry in Dublin and have

spent a couple of years working as a background artist in Film Animation.

My first love has always been painting so eventually I got around to working

from my own studio - apart from the odd intermission due to family commitments!

I am presently based in Greystones, Co. Wicklow - beside the sea which is the only place for me!.
