I am a contemporary landscape painter living and working in West Cork.

It is essential to me to be out in the landscape and to be able to create an emotional connection to a place.

Each painting expresses my love for the coastline and how it can stir emotions. My sketchbook is crucial to my practice, and it comes naturally to me as I love to immerse myself in my surroundings. Experiencing the change of light and weather fills me with excitement, and I strive to pass this experience on to the viewer. I take light-filled moments and capture them with oil on canvas.

I want to think that my paintings are an escape from a world going through an overwhelming period of change and that they enrich people’s life, even if it’s just for a moment.
