Introduction I am an Irish artist of impeccable pedigree! Coming as I do, from a family of talented and sucessful artists. Since embracing the daily Painting movement some time ago I paint a small painting, every day or every other day and post them here. Having discovered the fun of regular blogging, I am fired up by the idea of being part of a global discussion around painting that is a varied as there are artists.

Interests Influences: Lucian Freud, Gaugin, Jack B Yeats, Rothko and I really enjoy Carol Marine, SP Goodman and Edward B Gordon from the daily painter’s movement. Favorite City: Dublin of course. Favorite things to do: Walk with my dog sit with my cats run with my kids. Least favorite things to do: Clean, get out of bed once in it.
Favorite Movies Cinema Paradiso, Blade Runner, The Last Mohican, lord of the rings
Favorite Music Music is my constant. At the moment my top favorites are Alexi Murdoch, Snow Patrol, The Weepies, Death Cab for Cutie, Iron and Wine, Van Morrison, Iain Archer, Bob Dylan. I listen to Radio Paradise.com when I paint.
Favorite Books I read veraciously but in phases. I also host a monthly book club with some of the most interesting and varied women you will meet anywhere. We read well written (yes I know that’s subjective) modern fiction.
