I was born in Co.Waterford,Ireland in 1974.   I worked in my families jewellery store learning about different gemstones,colour appraisal & setting techniques.Later I studied at The Mallow College of Fashion and Design concentrating on embroidered & beaded tailoring along with abstract art.Soon I developed the use of crystals and beads as an art medium,applying them along with plaster & wax relief work,gold & copper leaf & acrylic paint to create truly unique works of art.I have spent many years traveling & observing artistic methods and local skills from different cultures around the world.In 2003 I moved to the rural surrounds of Delvin,Co.Westmeath to focus my attention on my art.I currently have several pieces on exhibit   at "The Garden Art Gallery" (www.zhibit.org/thegardenartgallery/galleries) and in private collections around the world.

I am listed in the "International Dictionary of Artists Vol.1 (2011)" and exhibited in the Art Fair 2011 at the RDS in Dublin.
