Location: Ireland

I am a self taught Artist working mainly in Oils. I occasionally work in Acrylics and Pastel but usually come back to my chosen media of Oils.

I have exhibited in various galleries in the UK and USA during the 80s and 90s. I also took part in a number of Wildlife competitions and exhibited with a wide variety of charities.

I moved to live in Ireland in 2007 and now focus mainly on Equine or Landscape art. I do still paint wildlife but not as much as I used to.

I enjoy helping other artists to learn new techniques as I believe we all continue to learn throughout our art careers.

I take private commissions and am happy to paint any subject.


Portfolio:

WILDLIFE

This portfolio features some of my wildlife paintings. Most of them are oil paintings, one of them is in Acrylics. All the paintings in this portfolio are for sale. I ship world wide and if you don't see an image you like please get in touch with me and we can discuss having a painting of a subject that you would like me to do.

Gorilla in natural habitat “Gorilla in natural habitat”

This gorilla is from a series I did on Mountain gorillas over 10yrs ago. It features one of the group males sitting surrounded by the lush vegetation.

'Strollin' “'Strollin'”

This painting is in Acrylics as I wanted really bright colours for this one. I had decided to paint the bear in full sun so that I could play around with the Sunlight and Shadow effects. The painting measures 22" x 24"

Kingfisher “Kingfisher”

This oil painting is of a Kingfisher sitting on a branch in the shade. The background colour was deliberately chosen to highlight the bright colours of the bird.

The painting measures 11" x 14" and is for sale.

HORSES

This portfolio contains some of my horse paintings that are still available for sale. Most of them are painted in Oils on Canvas/

William “William”

This painting features one of my favourite Irish/ Gypsy cob horses. At the time of this painting William was a stallion but has since been gelded. He is a stunning horse with a wealth of mane and tail.

Chestnut head portrait “Chestnut head portrait”

This oil painting features a beautiful chestnut show horse. The painting measures 12" x 16" and is on canvas.
