"My focus is on Dublin's urban spaces north and south of the River Liffey, particularly those that are evocative of the underside of the city. By drawing a grid over a detailed map of Dublin city centre I select a number of small areas to investigate, and absorb their presence by walking around, doing sketches, making colour notes, and taking photographs to find what interests me. It is a type of editing process before I start working on a final painting. I see my work as a form of documentation. I am drawn in particular to those areas of Dublin that have been over-looked by developers or sidestepped by regeneration due to their geographic or social displacement."
