I studied at Heatherley's School of Art in London and at The National College of Art and Design, Dublin. I have also been lucky enough to have been given extensive personal tuition by Michael Clark, a friend of Francis Bacon and by Bobby Gill, an honorary fellow of The Royal College of Art.
Whilst an element of realism is important, I try to move beyond artistic convention and avoid an image that is too predictable. Realism is not enough - what you take away and what you add to what you see are what transform a picture into art. I believe that the viewer wants to see a degree of draughtsmanship from an artist but they deserve more than this. I aspire to make my pictures touch people personally and to be considered simple works of beauty.
A new book called "Images of Women in Art" came out on International Women's Day (co-incidentally my birthday), I'm in it!
Very flattered to be included in this list of the 10 best contemporary portrait artists! My painting is on the cover of a new book by India's poet Laureate - Musings of Miss Yellow.
