Education and training

Trained at Galway Regional Technical College, now Galway School of Art (1983-89) and Crawford College of Art and Design, Cork (1991).

Began self portrait in college. Painted fellow students and family for a series of portraits comprising my graduation show in 1989. Got a first in Fine Art, even though my thesis was truly shite.
