A B O U T
I'm an artist and illustrator now based in Dublin but originally from a hybrid of Kildare/Dublin/WIcklow. Having graduated from IADT with an Honours degree in Production Design for Stage and Screen, I began my career as a scenic painter and designer, working on large scale sets before gradually beginning my own work as a visual artist and illustrator.
Working from my studio or ‘au plein air’ (on location), I create detailed drawings with a narrative quality. My work explores the history and connections we have to these places & their habitats. Using a fine tip pen, layer by layer, every line builds to reveal landscapes and urban environments, each with their own story to tell.
My illustration projects have allowed me to work and collaborate with a range of clients including, Kildare Village, Applegreen and singer/songwriter KatieKim, often pulling on Irish wildlife and nature for inspiration.
When not working on intricate details, I'm a proud indoor plant owner; bring my ears to gigs and sketchbooks on road trips around Ireland - and given the chance, plunging into any open body of water.
From the sketchbook
My sketch book gives me great reason to go off gallivanting around Ireland. When you're lucky enough to live on an island that's consistently battered by the elements, it makes for some stunning views across the country.
Travelling around & sketching on location allows a fluidity to my work that's harder to come by in the studio. To get a real feel for a place I love to get out there.
