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.
When & where:
Fri 26 Sep 2025 – Mon 12 Jan 2026 · Irish Cultural Centre, Hammersmith (London)
The Lover
The first painting in my Point of Focus series, built on a simple idea: we never see a face whole. We look at an eye, a mouth, a hand — one point at a time. The portrait is something we assemble.
Eight photorealistic panels. Each captures a separate moment of attention — a gaze, a gesture, the texture of a life lived. Together, they create something no single fragment could reveal.
The joy of new people and new places…
Relationships make us who we are…
The question of evolution…
