I am an artist and potter living and working at the foothills of the Ballyhoura mountains in north Co. Cork, Ireland. I studied Fine Art at Sligo I.T., where I graduated with an Honours BA Degree in 2003. After painting and exhibiting my work for a number of years, in 2016 I set up a ceramic studio where I make functional ceramics on the potters wheel.

In 2018 I was accepted in the renown Crafts Council of Ireland Ceramics Skills and Design Course, Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny, where I will continue to further develop my skills until 2020, alongside keeping my ceramic studio running.
