​

I am a visual artist working in the areas of drawing and painting. I was born in Wicklow, grew up in Kerry and now live on the Cork/Waterford border area.

​

I have studied animation in Ballyfermot College of Further Education, Dublin and I am a graduate of the Crawford College of Art and Design with a B.A. (Honours) in Fine Art.

 

My background as a trained musician is a vital inspiration and stimulus in my art making; I am an All Ireland winning Irish harpist having performed and toured in Australia and played in the National Concert Hall, Dublin.

 

I also have a Licentiate in Chinese Medicine, completing my studies in Dublin and Nanjing, China.

 

Painting and drawing is an embodied practice for me and is informed by over twenty years of meditation and reflection in the Vietnamese Zen Tradition.
