Painting galleries

Click the image for galleries of paintings going back to the early 1980s, from my first studio at St. Martins in Soho, to a year painting on the road in Mexico, a farmhouse in Ballydavid in the Irish Gaeltacht, then to Biarritz and back to London finally in 2016. My paintings are inspired by my travels and my life so these galleries are a visual autobiography
