About Me

Originally from Ireland and now based in Boston, I studied fashion design at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.  It was during this time that I was introduced to oil painting by artist Dustin Neece, and this began my love affair with painting.

I have recently been focusing on capturing the stunning scenery of my native home, which is a constant source of inspiration, particularly the west coast.  I strive to capture the desolate beauty of the landscape in that area, which has a place in my heart like no other.

I like to paint what I have an emotional connection to.  My hope is that those who see my work will feel their own emotional connection to it.

About

There is more to a portrait than just capturing a likeness.  For me a painting is successful if you can manage to capture something of that person's essence on canvas.  This can be as simple as having a conversation about the subject and hearing what you'd like the painting to capture, or a feeling to be evoked.

 

If you are looking for a personal commission, be it a landscape, a special painting of a loved one or pet please contact me to discuss.
