About Me

I am currently based in Ballaghaderreen, Co. Roscommon and recently graduated from NCAD, Dublin, having studied Fine Art Painting and Education. My painting practice at present focuses on the significance of objects and artefacts and the often obsolete processes involved in their creation.

Apart from painting, I am heavily interested in heritage sculptural crafts such as bronze age casting and taxidermy; these interests feeding back to inform my painted works.

Themes in my paintings include archaeology, nature, rural decay and psychology.

I am always happy to receive enquiries about existing work or commissions. To do so, please contact me here.
