His work has been shown at exhibitions in Ireland and abroad.
In 2007, he had his first solo exhibition in Dublin.
He is best known for his atmospheric black and white portraits and nudes,
produced the old fashioned way - in a darkroom.
In recent years, he has diversified into vibrant and distinctive colour images of flowers.
Born in Limerick in 1955, he lives with his first wife and several opinionated children in Bettystown, Co Meath.
For very many years, in a previous existence, he was a staff journalist with the Irish Independent.
He is represented on-line by the international gallery of modern and contemporary art, PicassoMio.com.

It is also on view in the Anna Livia and VIP lounges, Dublin Airport.
