I am a mixed media artist, printmaker and creative tutor based in County Down, Northern Ireland. I divide my time between making artwork for sale, exhibitions and commissions, developing and delivering creative workshops, and raising my young family.

Having spent time away from Northern Ireland, I now live close to where I grew up, in a rural location that I feel rooted to and draw endless inspiration from. Currently, I work from my attic studio in my home. From here, I have an ever-changing view across cherry and sycamore treetops to the waters of Strangford Lough. I can see Rainey and Sketrick islands, the ruins of Sketrick Castle, wading birds and an expansive sky (as well as the occasional paddle boarder and kayaker). It often feels as though nature is seeping into my workspace, which for me is ideal.
