Wye River Painting

A Melbourne-based Irish artist, I was born into a family of artists, architects and engineers where my artistic soul was nurtured from a very young age. With formal training in visual communication and a professional background in illustration, my visual language is identifiably graphic by nature. A chance visit to Melbourne changed the course of my life many years ago and is the pervasive inspiration for the art I make. The ease, warmth and wonder of Australia and her people instantly captured my heart and hasn’t let go since. With a signature style of soft shapes, captivating colours and undulating line work, I like to dance the line of representation in my subject matter, offering a lighter perspective to the reality of the places I see everyday. My hope is through my art you can step into a soft, colourful world imbued with a sense of joy, ease and maybe a sprinkle of humour.
