There are many sides to myself, and one of them is my Art. Im very passionate with my work, whether that is personal or commissioned work. Now that I have finished University, I can focus on what I would ideally like to paint/ draw. Other than that, my work is based upon request but still has my own originality in it.

When i first started as a practicing artist, I was painting horses, but there was no specfic reason other than that I was good and enjoyed it. I was then diagnosed with epilepsy around the age of 16 which is when my work became more in-depth and personal. Through my paintings, I tried for many years to convince the public eye that my condition is more serious than it seems and should not be taken lightly.

As a new chapter in my work, I had a lot of inspiration from my Grandmother who is a spiritual healer. I also came across an old saint called St Dymphna who i believe has had a big influence in the progress of my recovery.

If you like my work, I would appriciate your comments.
