       Welcome to my space, and thank you for taking the time to drift a little into the universe of imagination. I have spent the last forty one years like most of us humans asking myself questions about life the universe and death. My Irish back ground needless to say was limited in relinquishing any secrets relating to this. So when I came of age, which in my case was seventeen, I left the nest to confront destiny. From here to there the process of growing up took over and as everyone knows that is kick ass stuff. 

        Art has always been the subject that excited me the most, stimulating my emotions long before any other subject even sex. Academically I was a bit of the mark and couldn’t understand the continual onslaught of intellectual order imposed by those who seemed to have everything but emotions similar to mine. I found difficulty in everything but was proud of my art. It offered me the status of uniqueness and where others didn’t understand I was left to get on with my thing. Things have changed and still I am the same. 

       My art is still the drum on which I beat my tune and I would like to share with you the images life has provoked in me. At the foot of each image you will find a text giving you the keys to understand a little bit more about the image and its reason for existing. It is my profound conviction that without this the image is soulless and here by becomes a valueless object. The true value in any act is found in the origin of its conception and it is this that I would like to share with you here. Have a nice visit and if you would like to contact me you can email me, my address is at the bottom of each image
