I was born in Frankfurt Germany, lived in Dublin from age 1 to 8, and then moved to Buncrana, Co.Donegal. Since then I have lived in Galway and Edinburgh. Now I am based in Dublin once again. I have always had a keen interest in art be it drawing, sculpture or design. I have been privileged to have won a few awards for drawings while at primary school and later for painting.

Throughout my childhood I was very keen on design and animation, however, since I started painting at age 17, I felt this was the direction I wanted to go. I attended art collage in GMIT Galway where I studied fine art; however I did not enjoy the course and left after one year. I then completed a degree in Marketing and Tourism. Since Art College I have moved away from art, not painting or drawing for 3 years until last year. Now I am back painting and I enjoy it more than I ever did. I like to paint landscapes, seascapes, portraits and abstract. I try to paint different themes so as to appeal to everyone. I like to try to convey meaning and feeling in my workwhile using bright powerful and contrasting colours as well as being both tight and loose in my work.

I hope you enjoy my paintings

P.S. Most of my original work is for sale so if anybody is interested in the real thing just contact me through redbubble or through my email sebs43@hotmail.com.
