My Philosophy

Taking the time to observe. Many people go around without getting to appreciate the amazing intricacies of life. Acknowledging the value and meaning of something, an event, a behavior, an object and feeling a positive emotional connection to it is rewarding. Appreciation plays a significant role in one’s quality of life, independent of one’s personality.

In order to cultivate appreciation for life you first have to learn to live in the moment a little better. Seeing the beauty in something enhances life in a positive way and sharing that emotional responce can enlighten others through art.

My Equipment

The equipment I use is varied.

Most of my equipment has been sourced form Irish suppliers. Depending on the particular project I am working on I try to source materials and equipment localy.
Sometimes tools can only be purchased from specialists abroad like some of my sculpting tools have been sourced from the US and the UK. For paints, brushes and clays, I use Irish suppliers.
