Since my early days I have been interested in art and enjoy working with both colour and texture, painting pictures of animals, landscapes and people. I have studied various aspect of art under the tutelage of professional artists including Kenneth Webb, Wilfred Haughton, Manson Blair, Paul Holmes, Gregory Moore and others. Have gained full membership of the Pastel Society of Ireland, Ulster Water Colour Society, Arts Society of Ireland, and the Ulster Society of Woman Artists. I exhibited work in a number of exhibitions run by above societies and other local organisations and sold pictures to various people in the U. K. and overseas.
