Born in Shrewsbury in 1976 I am the eldest of twin boys. Being the son of a doctor and a n if, I always felt in safe hands right from the start. My artistic flare may well have been passed down from my mother's side. She was one of a family of ten children. Music and art was a central part of growing up in Dublin. My grandfather was from five generations of tailors in Saville Row and trained to become a bespoke tailor. He had three shops in Ireland, one of which was in the historical Kilmainham, Dublin. On my father's side, my grandfather was an industrial designer and skilled draftsman. THUS was woven the fabric of the artist! [no-sidebar]
