Though I'm an untrained artist I have done art as a hobby throughout my 38 years. At the moment I'm creating photo-realistic drawings in pencil as portrait commissions but I am open to any kind of work. Recently I started an illustration for the cover of a novel and I hope this will be completed very soon. I am fond of illustration work in general and love bold line and well-drawn forms which show a definite signature of the artist. In classic art I enjoy Gustav Klimt's work whose skin textures have been carried into Lucian Freud's work I feel. Klimt's landscapes also give me a buzz. I love comic book and fantasy art as well as children's illustrations.
My reading and cinema interests are science fiction, fantasy and I love documentaries about science, technology and economics and where these things interface with the human world. I have worked as a teacher to primary school children in Ireland and in Spain. I also worked for a time as a software engineer.
