Bio
I am a photographer and writer with varied interests in lens-based practice, including underwater, landscape and contemporary. A keen observer of light and life, I learned the craft of photography in commercial, wedding, and portraiture before moving to a career in healthcare. This gave me the flexibility to concentrate on personal projects, including the photobooks: Cool Waters/Emerald Seas (2006), Shortcut (2019), Last Orders (2021) and Kinsale –Light and Time (2023).
I hold Certificate in Professional Photography (2001); have completed the postgraduate program Re-approaching Photography with the Open College of the Arts. I am an alumnus of the Tyrone Guthrie Centre and recipient of an Arts Council Agility Award.
‘We seek to understand by observing what is around us. Seeing the world, and our place in it, like slices of time and light, compels visual expression. Meditative moments, intentionally drawn, drive my photographic vision. Nurturing a lifelong sense of wonder and seizing the opportunity as it arises drives this compulsion to pause, interpret and float this vision out there.’
