"I return time and time again to the same subjects for inspiration—Ireland's Bogs, my own back garden, but most of all the coastline –I find constant inspiration from it. The landscape is constantly changing and evolving as is my experience and technique of painting. Every time I return to a subject there is more to be explored. A member of the United Arts Club, his work is well represented in numerous private and corporate collections including Texaco, BP, Fingal Co Council, Dublin Chamber of Commerce and the ESB.
