Hi. Welcome to my website.  Click on any of the tabs above which may interest you.

I am interested in drawing on paper with charcoal, graphite, pastel, ink and watercolour. My paintings are of mixed media with a preference for watercolour. My work is based on nature but is not always a representation. I try and capture, what for me, is an essential aspect of the creature or scene that I am depicting. I draw and paint what is on my doorstep here in rural north County Cork - a garden with domestic and wild animals (birds, hares, rats, hens, pigs, etc) surrounded by farm land with various crops and animals.

The unfolding of the seasons, insect life and plants, especially of the wild variety, feature in my drawings and paintings.

I also like to draw buildings and have done a number of commissions of historic sites.

I have completed a number of portraits of people and I also enjoy doing portraits of family pets, and I have done one of Rosie the pig.
