My introduction to art began at Cork's Crawford Gallery where I attended art school haviing won a local children’s art competition. I am a self taught painter as I've had no formal training, but I have received drawing and painting tuition from several artists and began painting in oils in 1990. I am inspired by morning and evening light and my work is about light, colour, and the interplay between colours. My preferred media are oil and acrylic on canvas. I like to paint loosely using impressionistic layering/glazing techniques whilst still maintaining some focus on detail.
