I have had an interest in art from an early age, particularly in the works of the Old Masters. Following my retirement in 2008, I took up the study of art full time, firstly at Colaiste Stiofan Naofa in Cork, and then at the Crawford College of Art, graduating with an Honours Degree in Fine Art in 2013. I continue to pursue my interest in Classical Art with particular focus on portraiture and figurative works in pastel and oil.
