I am a graduate of GMIT in print and paint, specialising in monoprints and aquatints. I have recently begun teaching fine art in my own studio/gallery and have been working on a new collection of Monoprints using Lorg Studios.
My work is mainly figurative, exploring the animus and anima within, the relationship between the physical and the ethereal,
and the sensuality of the relationship between my materials and myself.
