I have been passionate about art, drawing, and painting since childhood. Fourty years ago, I studied art and design at Ulster University before life took me on a different path—falling in love, raising three beautiful humans, and spending the next three decades traveling to over 65 countries, helping leaders build strong, purposeful business cultures.
Born in Portadown in 1963, I grew up during the Troubles, an experience that shaped my views and fueled my passion for both creativity and leadership. The conflict instilled in me a deep desire to create positive environments—whether through art or by transforming the way leaders inspire and support their people.
Now, after decades of leadership and transformation, I have returned to my first love. Living in Italy, I am studying at the prestigious Florence Academy of Art, mastering the classical techniques first taught during the Renaissance. My work is influenced by the expressive power of Gerhard Richter, Jenny Saville, and Anselm Kiefer, as well as the two giants on whose shoulders I first climbed—Picasso and Van Gogh.
