​

A love for photography has been in my family for generations. From an early age I was endlessly inspired by my Granddad and his black and whites of my Grandmother as a young woman, Lough Corrib in the 1930s and an occasional self portrait that he set up using a string pully to activate the shutter.  My father bought me my first SLR camera for my 18th birthday and my interest in photography has been a constant in my life ever since.

I qualified as an Occupational Therapist in 2001 and worked with people with mental health problems, of all ages and stages, for twelve years after. I loved my career as an OT and I think I have earned a true understanding of the human spirit and highs and lows of ordinary life.
