About

I am a completely self taught artist and I work from my studio in South Tipperary. I have been painting for years but never had the opportunity to study art or make a career of it. my subject matter range from atmospheric landscapes in oils to abstract work in acrylic.

My paintings are both contemporary and abstract. I like to add that little touch of mystery and draw your attention to the horizon and what lies beyond. I also like to use images to portray distance. Everyone will see something different in each painting. It is up to each viewer to decide what they see in the painting. I like to make the viewer think upon my work to discover what lies hidden for them.

My paintings are inspired by many aspects of life, and reflect all my interests. I get inspiration from my travelling trips where I draw my influences from.

I love to use the palette knife as paints can be mixed naturally on the canvas this way and a fantastic texture can be achieved. Colour is important in expressing the moods and mists of our ever changing landscape. I continue to experiment with my paintings and am not afraid to try new techniques.
