Where Genealogy Meets Artistry

Based in Dundonald, County Antrim, Northern Ireland—just outside of Belfast—I now dedicate my time to the arts and the outdoors, following a fulfilling career specialising in IT project management and organisational review. I hold an MSc in Management and Organisations from Queen's University Belfast, a background that continues to inform the structured, problem-solving approach I bring to my creative projects today.

My artistic portfolio spans both physical and digital mediums. I have a deep passion for abstract and portrait painting, often exploring geometric styles to capture the character of a subject. In the digital realm, I work extensively with digital art, graphic design, and photography.

Beyond traditional art, I have a profound interest in genealogy. Tracing family histories allows me to combine my analytical background with my design skills, transforming data into visual art.

Inspiration is never far away. I am an avid hillwalker, and you will frequently find me out exploring local routes and hiking in the Mourne Mountains, camera in hand, capturing the raw beauty of the landscape.

When I step away from the canvas and the screen, my creativity shifts to the kitchen. I have a great appreciation for food and drink, dedicating time to the culinary arts and enjoying life!
