From Architecture to Art
I’ve only recently begun selling my artwork after joining an art group run by my wonderful friend Bex. That experience reignited my passion for painting, bringing peace and calm into my life during a particularly tough year. A conversation with Bex, and a friendly push from my besties Clare and Ciaran, helped me realise that this could be the next exciting phase of my life.
A Lifelong Passion
For 25 years, I worked as a qualified architect, painting for pleasure whenever I could. I even dabbled in set design for theatre productions, adding a creative twist to my career. When I decided to leave my job to care for my dad, who had Alzheimer’s, painting became my way to destress and meditate. My sunflower painting, inspired by Van Gogh, and the encouragement of my loyal friends, led me to consider transitioning from architect to full-time artist.
Painting With Joy
These days, I paint almost every day, balancing my time as a carer, wife, and mum. My home studio is my happy place, filled with natural light streaming in from all directions. I often lose myself in the joy of creation, sometimes for hours, as the world outside drifts away.
