Biography
Home schooled to age 18; from there, took up painting full time. Initially had a particular interest in historical techniques in oil painting; viewing the work of history’s master painters and more contemporary works was an important part of this early stage, as was interaction with, and guidance from, established artists. At a later stage studied printmaking, in Limerick Printmakers and Graphic Studio Dublin, exploring the relationship between etching, drawing and painting, the important place print has had in contemporary art and throughout its history, as well as its place in own body of work.
