The Courthouse in Bushmills

I’m delighted to be resident in the Bushmills Courthouse.


I have a studio that anyone can wander into and buy anything that takes their fancy (have a look around here!). I usually spend Fridays & Saturdays working there (sometimes other days too), meeting potential purchasers, and anyone else interested in having a look around and chatting.

When I’m not there, one of my fellow-artists opens up my room and can sell you anything that takes your fancy.

Drop in and say hello and see what I’m up to these days.

I’m in Unit 12 upstairs in ‘The Courthouse’ - 75 Main Street, Bushmills

I made this new piece over the last few weeks.

It’s called ‘Evolution’ - diluted acrylic paint and inks on canvas.

60cm x 90cm

I framed it, and within an hour it had sold from my studio - before I had a chance to put it on the wall or up on this site.

It’s a piece I like a lot, and I hope it's new owners do to.

Here’s a short video I made about it.

I’ve been making some short videos lately of work in progress.

Here’s a few - no longer than a few minutes each:

Making of Ink Study #7 - The Fledgling

I recently brought three of my larger ink abstracts home from the framers. They are all on handmade papers - two recycled cotton paper from India, one on wash-style paper handmade in Nepal.

Here’s a quick look:
