I was born and educated in Dublin, before moving to Mayo and, later, Wexford. I’ve been making low editions of hand-burnished linocuts since 1990. In 2012, I began painting in egg tempera, in the Giotto manner, and this gentle medium compliments my lino printing. I’ve been a full-time professional artist since 2009. I travel and rent studios in Germany, the UK, and France.
