My Story

‘When I have a paintbrush in my hand - I’m happy.’

I am an illustrator and art educator who lives and works in the busy market town of Newtownards, Co. Down, Northern Ireland. I love and am inspired by the abundant wildfowl and wildlife inhabiting the beautiful surrounding Ards Peninsula. I seek to capture the essence of my subjects in loose pen and watercolour - from little garden birds to waders and wildlife animals. I have many years of experience in book illustration, advertising and teaching watercolour classes and workshops.
