Born in Ireland. I apprenticed for five years to my father to learn my trade. I worked with him for 23years. While we did all manner of work associated with the painting trade our first love was the enhancing of ornate details in a home.

I moved to Canada in 1996 and continue to hold true to the policy that “You are only as good as your last job” My work is a step out of the ordinary as it turns wall panels, cornice mouldings and centerpieces into a piece of art on your ceiling. Inspiration can come from any source be it curtain material, furniture, carpet or china. I enjoy the look on a clients face when they see how their ceiling comes alive with colour. I paint in the style of Architect Robert Adam (1728–1792) to help create an ornate and traditional mood within a room I listen to classical music and opera while working. My work is custom to each client and is not repeated. Similar mouldings will receive a different treatment. I use Estate Emulsion by Farrow & Ball. The matt finish and depth of colour achieves this classic style.
