Artist Biography

I believe that to be an artist is a vocation. It becomes a journey in which you are led by inspiration and instinct, my path as an artist led to the National College of Art and Design where I graduated as a fine art printmaker in 2006 where I was honoured to receive the Graphic Studio Print award. After college I took a year out to travel and generally recharge the batteries and am currently exploring and developing new ideas, therefore I travel on this journey with joyful anticipation as to where it may lead me next.

Interests

I have a keen interest in art in the community and am currently employed as a community art worker. I believe that art enriches society and that it should be accessible to all people. I am also mad about photography and feel naked without my camera.
