I am a freelance artist based in Omagh, County Tyrone. Painting is my first love, but I am also interested in sculpture, performance, and making new connections with other art forms.

Singing in harmony with others is a particular passion of mine. I run two community choirs, one in Omagh and one in Enniskillen. We are always adding new members, so get in touch.

Walking the labyrinth is a simple but powerful tool for meditation and self discovery. It can be used for a whole range of individual and group activities.

I discovered the Transition Towns movement in 2008. For me it provides an inspiring new link between environmental issues and all my other creative work.

All these passions inform my work as an artist, and feed my creative community spirit. I believe that we all have the ability to be creative, and my workshops encourage individuals and groups to explore their inner lives and express themselves, individually and collectively. My personal journey over many years has led me to develop these interests into the workshops and group events I offer here, and they can all be interwoven to suit different needs.
