Meet The Artist
Growing up in The Burren, Co Clare, the limestone rock formations surrounding me were my playground…..anything from imaginary train carriages to balance beams! My other love, the sea, the wild atlantic ocean, where I spent many hours just watching its ebb and flow. With these forces of nature so deeply ingrained in me, they have a definite influence in my art today.
That question, "were you always an arty child?" is often asked of artists and the answer is usually.... Yes! For me it involved anything from constructing houses from cardboard boxes to drawing anything that stood still long enough.
It took until 2008 to fulfil my dream of attending art college. This experience introduced me to many new artists with their varied styles and influences. As well as lifelong, likeminded friends.
In 2014 I received my BA in Art & Design from CCAM, GMIT. Since then I have continued with my art practice, based in the West of Ireland, whilst at the same time facilitating weekly Adult Art Classes.
My love of painting began with oils, a love that will continue. That does not curtail me from trying out other mediums, methods and styles. In 2017 I began experimenting with Alcohol Inks and after much playing with, and researching their properties, I have achieved my own unique way of creating with them. Their unpredictability can be both frustrating and rewarding, but never boring!

I never tire of this view, an ever changing one. Sitting on the rocks of the Flaggyshore, often sheltering from the Atlantic winds, and sketching Blackhead in the distance.
