Kinsale Arts Festival 6 - 14 July 2013 Arts and culture on sea

Born in Oxford, England, I have lived in Ireland for the 22 years. I am a figurative painter, I prefer to work directly from life. I often work in impasto to give a physical presence to the work. I like to paint with spontaneity, whilst observing closely the expressive brushstrokes allow the viewer to see the process. Colour is always a great joy for me. Exploring colour harmonies and patterns, I try to achieve a sense of poetry in each piece. The main influences in my work are the post impressionists and the later fauves, in particular Vincent Van Gogh and Henri Matisse.

Kinsale Pottery and Arts Centre provides arts and crafts courses for adults and children, specialising in pottery, art, drawing and painting, film animation, glass fusing and stained glass, jewellery-making, bronze casting, creative writing, drama, painting and mosaic-making. We run weekly morning and evening classes, weekend breaks, summer schools and tailor-made workshops for corporate groups and private parties. We can accommodate up to 30 people in one class and up to 50 in a group, or as few as two or three at a time. All our courses suit beginners, enthusiasts and professionals, using a wide range of facilities and techniques. The pottery includes electric and raku kilns, stoneware and earthenware clays, and we teach throwing, hand-building and all varieties of glazing. Kinsale Pottery is situated just 20 minutes from Cork Airport, close to the centre of the beautiful historic harbour of Kinsale, famed for its restaurants and shops. The pottery is in the converted stables of the home farm for Ballinacurra House, and the gallery is in the eaves of its coach house, which dates back to 1795
