About
I’m a 27 year old artist from Bangor, Northern Ireland who has studied in London and now lives and works between the two cities.
Over the last 8 years I have had 8 solo exhibitions and try to make paintings about the places in which I’m living and working. I find and juxtapose images that speak of things that are hard to define in prose. What is community? What is Irishness? What is Britishness? I absolutely do not want to create literal manifestations of these questions but instead try to get under the multi layered skin of what these things are and what they mean to us.
My paintings are about mundane everyday moments that appear boring, but on further examination become lyrical, spiritual and beautiful and go to the very core of what community is and the crucial role it plays in Human Happiness. I dig with my paint brush!
