Originally trained as an interior architect, I now am a practising artist, specialising in animals since 1996, working mainly in oils, Acrylic and pastel mix-media and pastels.
I observe animals, their shapes, gestures and mannerisms and in developing my ideas, I take them quite often out of their context. I like using bold colours.
In my work, I explore the possibilities of bringing the subjects in and out of focus. Composition plays an important role in my paintings. I sometimes use perspective to distort images.
I sell work in galleries across the UK ,Southern Ireland and online and regularly paint commissions.
