I have always wanted to express myself using paint rather than words.
When I reached fifty and with a certain amount of life's experience behind
me I started painting. I enrolled in a pilot Diploma Course on Art and
Culture run by the DIT on Sherkin Island for over four years. It gave me
new skills and confidence in my work. In 2002 I had my first exhibition at
the Glebe Gallery Baltimore and in 2003 I had a solo exhibition in London.
A collection of my paintings are for sale at the Gate Gallery Skibbereen,
which is behind Field's supermarket over the little bridge. They can also be
bought from their Web site: www.thegategallery.com
