      My statement  
    I am a painter, graduated from Sligo I.T., Sligo, Ireland. I have worked across a wide range of media and subject matter. My current theme (2008) is based on the idea of place. Place as ambiguous and defined by relational or inherent memory is the theme that drives my current practice. Please feel free to check out my images from the series "Place, Non-place".
