I live and work in Dublin. I started my art career creating textile pieces which I exhibited regularly at The Patchwork Society Annual Exhibitions. At that point I created figurative and abstract pictures but my main interest was in using fabric to create geometric patterns. I moved onto painting, starting with portraits, still life, landscapes and finally creating a series of paintings using arches with a view to exploring perspective. Bold shapes and colours have always fascinated me. When travelling I choose countries that offer vibrant colours, be it women dressed in saris or vegetables and spices in markets. When seeking out art work I look for artists like Richter, Jackson Pollock, Miro, Kandinsky.
