Abu Dhabi: Desert Inspiration
I had the privilege and the honour to be asked to hang several of my new UAE inspired paintings in the reception rooms of the Residence of the Ambassador of Ireland in UAE, Alison Milton. I am also preparing for an exhibition soon in Abu Dhabi / Dubai: From the Desert …more on that soon.

2022
Summer 2021, I relocated to a very different environment: the UAE, based in Dubai.
So far… Incredible architecture, a built environment where the buildings are art pieces in themselves, futuristic, engaging, and all set within a desert environment. From my artist’s perspective it is new and challenging and I am looking forward in the future to exhibiting the work I am painting here.

As an artist in residence in Portugal I am always inspired by the wonderful Lusitanian land and skyscapes.

Northern Lights: Time to Look Up
Since my exhibition, “Chasing Volcanoes” at Filmbase, Dublin, I have fulfilled a long term painting goal of traveling through the Arctic. In September – October 2018 I spent time chasing the Northern Lights at 200km North of the Arctic Circle and saw a lot of success. Since that incredible experience I have been painting my Aurora Borealis and Arctic Journey, with a working title of “Time To Look Up”.

Parallel Projects
Concurrently, I am working on the many wildscape adventures I have had so far, to places that include such evocative names as The Craters of the Moon (Idaho), Yellowstone (Wyoming), the Great Salt Plains of Utah and the Tibetan Plateau.
