Growing up in Northern Ireland, I was fascinated by ancient myths, folk tales, and fantastical poetry. From the Children of Lir to the poetry of William Butler Yeats, my earliest memories are of becoming lost in wondrous worlds bursting to escape their parental pages.
 
I soon discovered the transcendent works of William Blake and the Book of Cells, where letters and words gained even more power, becoming vibrant, living art pieces as blazing, jewel-like letters moving almost supernaturally around the page. Their musical poetry, dramatic stories, and visual beauty create another world, 
 
I fell in love with both poetry and graphic design, seeking to create modern, contemporary works that continue the magic of the illuminated poetry of old.
​
My books aim to combine bright, electrifying visuals with rhythmic, mystical poetry. Poetry and art that I hope will plant seeds in the limitless gardens of your imagination. What strange and beautiful flowers shall you grow?

 

I am also a proud member of both the Society of Classical Poets and the Belfast based "Untitled Virtual Gallery" project.
