FROM THE COLLECTION
What’s Going On?
I was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, where I earned a national diploma in Fine Art (major in drawing) from DLSAD (now IADT) Dublin. Living in the USA I earned an Associate degree summa cum lauda in Fine Arts (Studio) at CNM, Albuquerque, New Mexico. I graduated from the University of New Mexico summa cum lauda with a BFA in Art Studio (printmaking) and a minor in Psychology. In my artwork I utilize a variety of mediums, including painting, drawing, and printmaking.
Having started over more than once, the need to adapt to new environments has clarified my concept of home. I believe that the land we know as children becomes imprinted on us and shapes who we become so that regardless of where we travel, we carry home, culture, and our history within us. At this point in my life I am returning to my roots, my family, and the community that helped form me as an artist.

Returning to Ireland after many years away, I set up Scribbling Gull Studio, which is a combination of an artist’s space and a retail outlet. Here I can create and sell my artwork, offer private art tuition, and the services of a talented, bespoke framer. Such a situation allows me to make a home, connect with the community, and develop a working environment to progress as an artist.

As an artist, the opportunity to display what I have created, to be promoted, and given an audience is invaluable. To attend an exhibition in which my piece is hanging is a thrill and worth the anxiety of filling in application forms, writing a bio, framing, and delivering, not to mention the emotional risk of sending same artwork into the world.
For the people making the exhibition happen, it is also a lot of work and personal risk. When you show up on opening night to be handed a glass of complimentary wine and a program, spare a thought to all the people who give their time and expertise willingly and often for free, so that artists can show their artwork to the public. From the fanciest museum exhibition to the local community art show, nothing would happen without them.
Thank you! And yes, I’d love a glass of wine!

There is a dynamic relationship between drawing and writing so that one feeds and informs the other. Writing about my artwork helps me make connections, follow my curiosity, and learn more about technique and subject matter. It all loops back and informs new art!
