his inspiration from the majestic landscape around the Dingle
Peninsula. Using a variety of mediums, including oils, acrylics and
watercolours, he prolifically creates vibrant landscapes and vigorous still
lifes. Other well-known artists exhibited in the gallery include
Markey Robinson, Gladys Maccabe, Des Murrie, Ruth Wood and
Deirdre McKenna Mazz. The gallery also offers a specialised framing
