Description:: I grew up just outside Nenagh, County Tipperary and around the time of my leaving cert my family and I relocated to the countryside in County Clare just outside Limerick City. After graduating from Art College I painted on and off over a number of years where ever my personal life would allow. I took up painting full time about 6 years ago at my home studio in Co. Wicklow where I have settled the past number of years. I have exhibited in several solo and group shows throughout the years and the highlight of exhibitions so far are as an invited artist to various ongoing group shows the past 2 years with Hamilton Gallery, Sligo. Some include, Eva Gore Booth, Among School Children, Meditations in Time of Civil War and recently invited for St. Brigids Day 2022. Another highlight is being winner of an Enlighten artist group initiative 2021 and runner up on multiple other submissions to the same project with Hambly and Hambly Gallery, Enniskillen. Currently I am working towards a solo exhibition for 2022 at Seamus Ennis Gallery, Naul, Co. Dublin and I have a few other small projects on the go too. This painting was part of an invited artists group show with Hamilton Gallery Sligo. It was in response to the W.B. Yeats poem, 'Among School Children' and my inspiration came from the followiung extract: ‘O chestnut tree, great rooted blossomer, Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole? O body swayed to music, O brightening glance, How can we know the dancer from the dance?’ by W.B. Yeats.
