"My work tends to feature bold colours that provide an immediate impact, while seeming to resonate within the context of the cool Irish climate. I suppose my style could be described as semi-abstract. I like to challenge the viewer, and my work has been described by some critics as broadly expressionist in nature. I like to work quickly in acrylics, using coarse brushwork, executed in a gestural style, often on a compact scale, but I am also happy to take on the challenge of larger formats. Being an impulsive person in many ways I go where my imagination takes me, being subject to few rules and frequent changes of mind, which works well for me!”
