| Interests | I have always had a keen interested in History, rambling, music, drawing inspiration from history, bible stories and folklore, for my artwork. More recently Kayaking, volleyball and hill walking have become my new distractions from work. Allowing me to get a new appreciation and perspective on Ireland's wild places and become a happy snapper. |
