RESPONDING TO THE DARKNESS DESCENDING
A series about light, resilience, and renewal in a time of uncertainty.
Welcome
You know the pull of belonging, the ache of exile, the promise of return.
My paintings live in those tensions — portraits alive with presence, abstract fields of colour, and landscapes steeped in place.
I came to painting through theatre, carrying its drama and staging into the studio. My life between Dublin and London — marked by migration, belonging, and renewal — continues to shape the work.
Step inside, where your story and mine might meet.
But the blink…
I’m delighted to share that But the blink… has been selected for ÍOMHÁ at the Irish Cultural Centre — part of the ICC’s 30th-anniversary programme. It connects my work to the wider journey of Irish artists in London.

The Lover
Point of Focus series
A celebration of age, confidence, beauty, and love.
The Lover opens my Point of Focus series — exploring how we truly see one another: never as a single image, but through fragments, fleeting details, and moments of attention.
Composed of eight photorealistic panels, each offers its own story — a gaze, a gesture, the texture of lived experience. Together, they form a deeper wholeness that honours authenticity and human beauty.
The joy of new people and new places…
Relationships make us who we are…
The question of evolution…
