I’ve been scribbling and drawing ever since I could hold a pencil or crayon. It’s a compulsion that’s driven me and shaped my entire life. I studied drawing, painting and design at the National Art School, but I consider myself largely self taught with observation being my main teacher. The compulsion to draw led to a forty year career as a Designer and Art Director.

I’ve worked in most mediums including photography and computer based art, but my real passion lies with water based mediums. I like watching the paint run and mix with other colours and then scratching about with a pen, pencil or even the back of a brush to get an interesting line. I love the lively look and feel of the line floating amongst splashes of bright paint.
