Welcome to my creative space
Welcome to my world, where wildlife and art come together in bold, captivating detail. Originally from Ireland and now based in Belgium, I create close-up paintings that celebrate the beauty of wildlife. My work invites you to explore the rich colours and powerful imagery of nature, sparking conversations about conservation along the way.

A Global Perspective
Growing up across the Middle East and Africa, I was immersed in diverse cultures and stunning scenery that shaped my artistic journey. My parents' diplomatic work gave me the unique opportunity to explore the world, instilling in me a deep appreciation for nature and the wildlife that thrives in it. As an avid traveler, I continue to seek inspiration from every corner of the globe, capturing the essence of each place in my art.
Art as a Reflection of Memory and Experience
For me, art is a powerful way to connect with personal memories and shared experiences. Each piece I create is not only a representation of wildlife but also a symbol of a moment in time, a place, or a feeling. Often, the animals I portray can remind viewers of a destination filled with fond memories, whether it’s a past journey, a dream adventure, or a cherished experience in nature. By tapping into these universal themes, I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and nostalgia, encouraging others to reflect on their own connections to the world and the creatures that inhabit it.
Blending Art, Advocacy, and Connection
My unique background combines a tapestry of cultural influences, a deep commitment to animal welfare, and a formal education in fine arts. This blend is reflected in the depth and vibrancy of my work, which serves as both an emotional and educational experience. With my Fine Arts degree from Norwich University of the Arts, I have a solid foundation in artistic techniques that bring my vision to life.
