"My work is a
culmination of the experience of growing up in Kerry,
the desire to share it and an inner yearning to paint - as strong
as the need to drink when thirsty!
The last decade of working, sleeping and breathing painting has
been a process of developing the skills and techniques
I need to capture the beauty that I see and, hopefully,
the passion that I feel. It is an ongoing process.
I see no completion in that development. My work is a living,
growing part of me or maybe I'm a living, growing part of it."
