PORTRAIT COMMISSIONS

I accept portrait commissions from individuals and groups. I travel for commissions and can work from sittings or photos.   contact

My public commissions have included many portraits of prominent figures in the field of art & entertainment, including a group portrait celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival and (presently) a large group portrait for the American Writers Museum, Chicago. I also have portraits in public collections, including the Dublin Writers Museum, Centre Culturel Irlandais de Paris, US Library of Congress, U.C. Berkeley Collection. I recently painted Garrison Keillor for the 40th anniversary of his radio show, A Prairie Home Companion.
