Personal Profile
As a professional artist, I have been developing my practice in the fields of drawing, painting, and sculpture. I have a strong interest in the social sciences (e.g. psychology, anatomy, sociology) which translates from my academic training into my art work. I work out of The Market Studios Dublin.
