Profile/CV
I am an Irish-born visual artist based in Boston, USA. In 1998 I graduated from Massachusetts College of Art.
My current medium of choice is serigraphy where I screen print my photographs onto canvas and other media. My work explores such issues as displacement, isolation, neglect, uncertainty, trust and anxiety, often in an urban context.
I lament the modern direction of visual art where beauty and craft are being removed from the equation, sacrificed in favor of funny, profound and mediocre. I create all of my own art by myself, without the help of assistants, and I frown upon the practice of established artists putting their name works created by other hands.
I have exhibited my work in Dublin, London, the Hague, Boston, New York, Seattle, Dallas, Buffalo, Los Angeles, Springfield and Ontario.
