"I studied fine art at Sligo Tech and attained my degree at 53 yrs. My painting has been influenced by the romance of the pre- Raphaelites, William Morris, and Louis Tiffany. Tiffany's stainted glass windows and lamps, were inspirational in my poppy and other paintings. The flowing black lines are akin to the circle of life, with no beginning and no end."
