As an Irish-born artist and mother of two, my life is a rich tapestry of travel and artistic exploration. With a Fine Art degree from Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology, I've exhibited across Ireland and South Africa, both individually and in groups. Nature's beauty and the diverse cultures I've encountered fuel my creativity. Portraiture, particularly, speaks to me, allowing me to capture the essence of my subjects. From commissioned pieces for global audiences to projects for hotels and private collectors, my art has reached far and wide. After a hiatus to focus on family, I returned to painting, embracing experimentation with mixed-media techniques. Whether through canvas or storytelling, art is not just a passion—it's an integral part of my identity, connecting me to the world around me.
