I have always been interested in art from an early age, however, having more time over the past 20 years I attended different classes and learned lot especially from Rosie McClelland – a wonderful artist and teacher.  For the past six or seven years I enjoyed a number of workshops at the Battletown Gallery in Newtownards, taken by well known Irish Artists such as Neil Shawcross, Brian Ballard, Rosemary Gifford, Paul O’Kane and the late Eamon Murphy, all of whom inspired me.
