Welcome to my Celtic Art website. I am an Irish born artist residing in the Boston area. I have spent many years painting Sacred Icons and Celtic Myths, legends and colorful characters from Irish history.

My inspiration is mainly from the Bible; the epic poem, the Táin; legends and historical events from the history of the Celts. I intertwine Celtic design in the paintings which are executed in oils.

Once the principles of Celtic designs are mastered, there are endless possibilities for creative innovation. I am always exploring these possibilities, for I find Celtic design has a strength and mystery not readily found elsewhere. I especially like to enhance biblical and mythological themes with the infinite variations of Celtic knotwork interlacing.
