Hi, I'm an artist and illustrator living in Ireland's capital city, Dublin. I've been creating first class hand-painted illustrations for newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal and The Irish Times for many years. My personal paintings have been shown in Le Louvre, Paris and in the British National Collection. I'm often found out and about around ireland, the UK and France painting landscapes en plein air. I love to teach and I have boundless patience! I've helped many, many complete beginners to create their own unique and wonderful paintings and I can help you too.

What people say about my classes
