Hello and Welcome

I guess if you are looking for a practical down to earth artist then you have come to the right place. Writely or wrongly I don’t do academic art speak, but instead straight talking and passionate about my work. I absolutely love great conversations, and can spend all day listening and communicating with people who inspire me.

My love for animals in all their textures and glory has led me down this path of creation. I’m passionate about the beauty of animals and care deeply about their plight and survival.

Working down the docks of Dublin shipping port, I would spend time sketching, painting and selling my work to colleagues in the office.  

However, painting stopped when I moved to the U.K. and 19 years were spent in my business at www.littlehandsmusic.co.uk  teaching babies and toddlers through music. I knew deep down though I should continue to paint which I did occasionally. Finally, the pull was too strong, and I decided to take the plunge to pursue a career in art and go back to my love of painting and creating in 2017.

The academic route was not for me although I did spend a year studying towards an Art and Design degree in Leek College. I work from my rural studio in the Midlands of the U.K. 

I intend to create durning the latter part of 2020 large vibrant pieces and also take on commissions. New exciting work yet to unfold. Watch this space as I am unstoppable.
