About me
Born in Ireland, I moved to Australia 27 years ago. As a child, I was taught to paint by my father, an accomplished watercolour artist, and also through self education. I draw and paint everyday, working mostly in watercolour and oil.
My paintings reflect my fascination with the effect light has on objects and figures. I react to subjects through the colours and values of the things I observe. I want to capture what for me is true realism, not via highly detailed work, but through applying a deep understanding of the principles of light, colour and composition.
