Pursuing a passion and putting me through college!
I'll tell you a bit about myself. I’m Irish. You’ll nearly always see me with a paintbrush in hand…that’s how I fly away!
I went to Art College in Dublin and then moved to Galway. My passion for studying birds comes from living in the West of Ireland. Galway is an amazing spot; the weather’s not always great! But the coast is beautiful all year round not least for its prolific bird life.
So it started with Seagulls and Finches and Swans which are everywhere around here! And then it moved on to all winged things with character including Penguins, Pelicans, Puffins and anything that grabs my attention! A Bird in the Hand was born!
I also paint abstract works and exhibit extensively in Ireland. I have curated many contemporary exhibitions and work with school children on art festival projects. I plan to return to college next year to pursue a post graduate course in Arts Policy, specialising in curation. All earnings from A Bird In The Hand will go towards a college fund!
I'm a proud member of the Etsy Ireland Team!
