I'm a self-taught artist from Cork, Ireland, and I've been painting for over 25 years. My work includes portraiture and landscapes, working in oils, pencil and charcoal.

Over the years, I've developed my own way of approaching a painting. I take my time, build the image step by step, and pay close attention to light, colour and detail. Whether I'm working on a portrait or a landscape, I want the finished painting to have character and feel right, rather than simply copying what's in front of me.

My work has reached collectors in Ireland and abroad, and in 2018 I appeared on RTÉ's Painting the Nation. I've also created large-scale murals and had my work featured on the cover of The HollyBough.

Alongside my own work, I teach oil painting. I enjoy sharing the process I've developed over the years and helping people discover what they can achieve with paint.
