From my studio in West Cork

 Studying photography developed my love for processes and experimentation. I have always been drawn to the surprise results and uncontrollable elements when making art - which is now manifesting with an interest in using encaustic wax with photographs, oils, pigments (and whatever else I can find along the way!)
