Creating with either pastel, watercolour or oil I endeavour to capture the colour and light of the Irish landscape or the character and essence of an animal so that I can bring the wonder and marvel of nature into your home.

“As a child growing up in the Irish countryside (near Kilbrin in North County Cork) I spent my time happily wandering through fields, crossing streams and climbing trees. I've always been fascinated by nature and animals.

This love for animals, nature and the Irish countryside has definitely influenced my work." 

Background 

I studied art and design at Limerick College of Art and Design. The first year comprised of painting, print, sculpture, graphics, ceramics and fashion design. Loving each one I found it hard to decide on just once discipline. I probably went with my head instead of my heart at that time and I graduated with a degree in graphic design. I set up a design business working with businesses developing their company brand in the Munster area. My love for art and painting never faded and in my spare time I continued to paint and explore my love for animals and the Irish countryside.

Encouraged by family and friends to share my talent, I decided to open the door to my passion and share it with those that also have a love for animals and nature. I live near Macroom in Co. Cork with my husband and daughter.
