About Me

I was born and live in Belfast, Northern Ireland where I studied Design at the University of Ulster. Since then I have been doing artworks including many commissions.

I have done a wide range of subjects but animals, especially cats are my favourite. Fortunately I have found them to be a popular subject. I also have done many local Northern Irish scenes and buildings.

I work in a range of media; graphite pencil, colour pencil, pastels, watercolour, pen and ink and combinations of these – choosing whatever I feel is appropriate for the subject.

I love the opportunity I get doing artwork to focus on, and try to capture, the details of the subject – be it the strokable texture of an animal’s fur or architectural details on buildings that no-one notices as they go by.

In the last few years I have started to explore a love of still life drawings and have had several of these selected for the annual Royal Ulster Academy exhibitions.

When creating an artwork it is very important to me use high quality materials. I will only use colours with very high permanence so they will not fade. I believe if you pay money for an artwork you should be able to expect it to last.
