Originally from Bucks Co. PA USA, now living in Co. Tipperary. Studied Foundation Fine Art at Tyler School of Art, Temple University. I am a largely self taught visual artist/painter. Working with oils I paint landscapes and still lifes in the subject of identity and the human condition.

I am a multi-media artist making sculptures, basketry and arts projects for a variety of settings. I work to commission and with community groups, creating site-specific projects and artworks. My Public Art Sculptures are well-known.
I have extensive experience in teaching craft skills and working creatively with people of all ages. I have an open studio and gallery in a quiet rural location where I teach classes and run cultural events.
I have worked as an artist since obtaining an honours degree in art and design, at the London Guildhall University in 1996.
I strive to make art understandable and accessible to everyone. I often bring “community” along in the creative journey for some of the artworks, thus reinforcing their understanding and ownership.
In my work I like to combine different materials, utilising their unique inherent qualities and also honouring the craft skill for each.
