I have a diploma in ceramics and
started drawing during this period. For many years I used chalk
pastels loving the close contact with the medium. This is still
my preferred medium although I also use oils, mixed media and
print techniques and I still love drawing, particularly life
drawing. The art portfolio course has been an inspiration in that
it has taught good studio practice and development of ideas.

Besides being a member and
exhibiting with the Old Schoolhouse Group since it’s inception, I
have also exhibited at the People’s Art exhibitions in Lucan, at
Castle Park School in Monkstown at a group exhibition and in
Castleknock. As well as this I have exhibited in the UK doing
joint exhibitions with my mother, Anne Cole.
