One of my visual obsessions has always been graffiti, having lived in London for a while you get very used to seeing it every day! My love for graffiti goes beyond the visual, I have the utmost respect for people that can do it, whether it be a persons signature tag or something more along the lines of an intricate mural. My own work is mainly painting with a variety of mediums and I have always tried to have my own take on graffiti in a more abstract sense. (See some images below). When I say m [...]

While having had an inspiring time away in Asia recently I have found myself to have had an influx of new ideas with many different avenues. Place and a sense of nostalgia have been a focal point in my work for a number of years and this hasn't changed. some of the newer work I am doing at the moment will be based around these very same themes and ideas in a number of differing mediums. I am hoping to grasp a more rounded view with this next phase of work. watch this space :) R [...]

On my recent travels around South East Asia I found some incredible inspiration when it comes to architecture and surroundings. The first stop was to Hong Hong, then onto Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and a brief stop in Bangkok. I am looking forward to getting some new work made with these wonderful places in mind with a possible exhibition later on in the year! ​RL  [...]

I took part in my second market in Killarney and also my last one of the year. It went really well and I was just so excited to be involved again. Please see a few photos from the day and despite the terrible weather there was a lovely crowd throughout the day.​RL  [...]

On Sunday 11th of November I will be setting up for my second Market in the Laurels Hall in Killarney. The last one on the 14th of October was great, I wasn't sure how well it would go with regards to selling but I had a nice amount of interest and I am definitely looking forward to it on Sunday! I try to bring a variation of work with me but with a lot of my work being done on a bespoke basis for people it is almost hard to find time to do any extras.. hopefully all will go well at the wee [...]

A large part of my work outside of the commissioned work is based on nostalgia, it has mostly been based around local buildings and creating a vibe and memory from an older time. I do my best to give an atmosphere to each piece to try give the viewer a sense of movement and life. Here are a couple of the recent ones. ​RL  [...]

Fortunately, lately I have spent my time working on commissioned paintings for some wonderful people. There has been a variation of wedding, anniversaries, Christmas and birthday gifts and I have loved making them all! I am incredibly grateful to be able to do the one thing I absolutely love!Here are a few of my latest commissioned pieces below.​RL  [...]

I have just started some work on a project that has interested me for years. I have always love the idea of the streets of Killorglin and representing them in various paintings. I lived away for years in London, I would come home regularly but no matter how often I came home and would drive up through the town I would always be looking for and always notice something had changed. I am sure this is true of any little Irish town. It was that feeling of change at home that I found comforting. Every [...]

Puck Fair Pop Up Shop My first little craft shop was for the local festival of Puck Fair. A very interesting experience. There are people from all walks of life walking through the festival so it was a great way to get a variety of people talking about some of the work. I have maybe always secretly loved the colour pink. It is only in the last few months really that I have noticed that it has had a big part of my work. Influenced by my Barbie and Fashion Wheel obsession growing [...]
