I am an artist who has developed my own unique style, blending painting and ceramics to produce works that are both traditional and contemporary. My painting is inspired by the landscapes around the picturesque village of Inistioge, Co. Kilkenny where I've lived all my life. To complement my love of painting, I have cultivated expertise in ceramics in the course of a long career in the craft and design industry here in my native county.

 

I am now fulfilling my lifelong ambition to blend this love of painting with my skills as a ceramic artist to produce a range of bespoke products. They will, I hope, allow the beauty of my native place to be appreciated by people in Ireland and across the world.
