The above flash animation is of a 360 degree panoramic sweep of Co Down, composed of eight watercolour's
painted from Slieve Patrick at Saul, near Downpatrick in 2001.

My online gallery is to show some of my paintings, mainly of Strangford Lough or to use its ancient name Lough Cuan, meaning Loch of the Harbour's, which isin Co Down in the North East of Ireland.

You can read about the count's rich and varied history, from its Bronze Age past to St Patrick , who is believed to have landed in lecale in 432 AD, and where the many wealthy Christian Monasteries that dotted the shores and islands of Strangford Lough, were plundered by the Norse Vikings in the 9th and 10th centuries. By the12th century, Norman Knights fought for Irish chieftains for possession of the rich and verdant land that surrounds Lough Cuan. This fight for possession continued through to the 16th century plantation of Ulster. You can read about some of the myths associated with Ireland and Co Down

If you are interested in any paintings or are planning a wedding or a function of any kind, which harp music might enhance, please contact me. I have a wide and varied repertoire of music which can be tailored to fit your special occasion, you can listen to it from the jump menu at the top of this page.
