Born in New York in 1954 and living in Ireland since 1966. I have been making art full time since 1984 in both two and three dimensions.
My primary inspiration is in the "larger than life" or mythic stories that are told by seemingly ordinary people.Throughout my career my work has been exclusively figurative in content and primarily mythic or pscho-spiritual in theme. The work of the last few years has been photo-based and has attempted to make a contribution to developing a contemporary mythic iconography.
I consider that the most formative part of my art education was my study of English drama and poetry in Trinity College, Dublin in the 1970s. I have had nine solo shows in the greater Dublin area and Montreal as well as exhibiting in the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin Castle and the Department of Arts HQ.Recent shows:Fotobild, Berlin , November 2007.
The Spirit in Art, Estenza Castle, Ferrara, Italy, November 2007.
Florence Biennale, December 2007.
Peace and Art, Azores Parliament, January 2008. Los Angeles Center for Digital Art 2008. Little Treasures, Bologna 2008. My work is in the collections of the Department of Foreign Affairs (Dublin), Totm'a Museum (Vologda, Russia), Irish Permanent (Dublin) and Greek Embassy (Dublin).,
