I am a self-taught artist working in water-based screenprint and watercolours. I have painted watercolours, mainly landscape, since the late 1980s. In 2001, I developed an interest in printmaking and taught myself how to screenprint using water-based screenprinting materials. In early 2008 I retired from the Irish Air Corps, in order to pursue my art career on a fulltime basis.
