I attended the London College of Printing where I studied Typography and worked in Graphic Design industry in London during which time I began to draw Pen & Ink studies and paint in Water colours. My eye was always drawn towards people and faces, trying to capture expressions.
Under the tuition of professional artists Phelim Donfield and Eamonn Colman of Brushstrokes Art School in Dublin I learnt a great deal about colour, drawing and techniques in all fields. Having developed some skills in Still Life, Flowers and Landscapes, I found myself drawn back to people and completed a number of portraits and commissions, which gave me the most satisfaction.
I am currently working on a series of figure drawings in charcoal
