Biography

Painting is my passion, and nature is my inspiration, I love to paint wildlife especially birds and flowers particularly wildflowers. In fact my painting "Blackberry Days" won the London Art College competition is 2011. Growing up on a farm in rural Ireland gave me a great love of all things country and a huge appreciation of our ever changing seasons. Watercolour is my preferred medium for its wonderful translucent vibrancy and the fact the it seems to have a mind of its own. Some of my favourite paintings have been where I allowed the watercolour to lead me where it wanted to go! I have been teaching art classes in acrylic, watercolour and mixed media locally for almost 18 years. As my youngest child heads off to college this year I plan to spend much more time painting and playing with colour and hopefully learning lots and growing as an artist.
