I was born in 1971 at Kellswater Co. Antrim Northern Ireland.

From an early age I developed drawing skills and went on to art collage in 1990 after leaving I went into graphic design working as a designer for a large advertising company near Belfast.

I always enjoyed painting and was keen to exploit my talent as an artist.

I had my first solo exhibition at Clotworthy Art Gallery Co. Antrim in 2000 with over 20 paintings on display.

After gaining much recognition as a local artist many of my works are now being exhibited in galleries throughout Ireland and England.

I enjoy painting mammals and birds and like to create a natural feel on the canvas gaining control of light and perspective in the picture with attention and accuracy to detail at all times.
