About

I guess I was always interested in photography and visual art since a young age. I’ve even found a photograph taken in Greece when I was around nine with camera in hand. As a child all I wanted to do was to act, I think I must have driven my family mad with all the various voices and characters coming from the back of the car on long trips. My professional training started in 1999; training to work in print journalism and over the next seven years I trained to work within the mass media, both written and visual. After completing this training I quickly realised I could never work full-time in these industries and instead turned to exhibiting my work nationally and then slowly further afield out side of Ireland.

After a short while of wandering in this world I felt the need to return to training in an arts context, which lead me to completing my masters in 2010 from NCAD in Dublin. I am a real education addict and constantly find myself in some sort of training or another, the most recent being a year of part-time studies in Advanced Performance in the Gaiety School of Acting. So I found myself an early 30’s struggling artist like all the rest trying to figure out what to do next.

Hence I have taken another road, packed up my life and belongings in Ireland, taken up my backpack along with my partner seeing where the flow will take us. Naturally I am armed with all the necessary photographic equipment to keep shooting along the way. My next serious body of work finds me working with a small community in the Peloponnese near Sparta in Greece.

Hopefully this road will lead to me continuing to make work which I can share with you all through this website. I hope you enjoy the work as much as I have enjoyed creating it.
