During my childhood in Dublin, Ireland, my mother used to take my siblings and me to the National Gallery of Ireland. I’ve been in love with art ever since.
After a 20-year career in animation, I expanded to work on many different types of art, including murals, oil and acrylic painting on canvas, and decorative painting. I’m currently working on paint carvings - carving deep designs into more than 100 layers of paint on birch - and sewing projects (I also love crafts!), using remnant fabrics that otherwise would go to the landfill.
I’ve had the opportunity to work for great organizations that support arts and culture: the City of Glendale (Arizona) Public Arts Program, the national Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, and the boutique Museum of Craft and Design in San Francisco.
Today, I live in Redwood City with my partner and cats. I’m active in my local arts community and was honored to be a member of the Redwood City Arts Commission for four years.
