I am an Irish artist dividing my time between Cornamona, Co. Galway, Ireland and Berlin, Germany.
Having completed a degree in History of Art at Trinity College Dublin in 1999 I traveled and worked around the world for 14 years before moving to Germany to focus on my art full-time.
My paintings are inspired by my native west of Ireland and the many other lands traveled since.
I pay tribute to our world, painting representational and re-imagined landscapes.
3 of my works hang in the HSE Corporate Finance Center, Irish Government Buildings, Dublin, Ireland.
Visits to my studio are welcome. Please email or call for an appointment.

The Sea, The Sky
featured in BBuzzArt's September 2018 Curator's pick
Westival Gallery
Wed Oct 23rd - Mon Oct 28th 2019
Through an open call, artists were invited to submit work on Westival 2019’s theme, ‘Brittle / Fragile’. The result is an exciting and varied group show showcasing selected work from Irish and international artists, featuring sculpture, painting, drawing and photography.
The theme proved a generous, many-headed muse, with artists responding in a huge variety of ways and presenting a multiplicity of creative interpretations – personal fragility, vulnerability as strength, frailty engendering feelings of protectiveness, the brittle geopolitical landscape, the fragility and ever-increasing vulnerability of our planet….

Curator's pick: What kinds of lines have you drawn?
By Bo ryung, Rhee
We keep drawing new lines. We draw lines between people. We follow the lines on the streets. We continue to draw the lines in the air or on paper until we meet our destination. Lines which could portray you or me and mountains or sea. Shaky lines; broken and reconnected lines; overlapping and erased lines; or strong as faith yet uncertain lines; corrected and redone lines. The lines artists draw reveal their worries and the meanings behind the lines in a solid form. Line itself is a track of life. What kinds of lines have they been drawing today living under the same sky? And what kinds of lines have you drawn today? I hope your life and the lines you have drawn will merge like a piece of painting...
