I am a contemporary colourist painter based in Wexford, Ireland. I specialise in large scale abstract paintings in acrylic on canvas. My work is about the physical impact of pure colour. I paint in bold rhythms and textured layers that capture the vibrancy and depth of the paint. Every painting is an original work, with its own unique mood.
