As far back as I can remember I have always enjoyed drawing and sketching and began painting as a hobby around twenty years ago but it wasn\u2019t until I enrolled on an art course at the North West Regional College in Limavady that my paintings took on a life of their own.<\/p>\n
After completing the University of Ulster certificate in fine & applied arts, I worked hard on developing a unique style of painting, an atmospheric style to create a distinctive mood within my paintings to evoke a particular\/aesthetic quality. I usually paint from photographs adding my own interpretation and flare. I like my paintings to have an interaction of colour between the subject and the background creating colour harmony and a sense of movement within my paintings.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content”][vc_column el_class=”homecats”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp” el_class=”homecat-title”]<\/p>\n
