                 Roger's 
                  works have been strongly influenced by his affinity with the 
                  Irish landscape and way of life. His subjects are varied - sea 
                  scapes, bogs, churches, castles, harbours, street and market 
                  scenes. Having been a former all-Ireland GAA player and sportsman, 
                  sporting activities feature frequently in his work. 
                A 
                  scholarship to Dublin College of Music, Dublin Feis Ceoil success, 
                  and private art lessons were the gateway to Roger's life-long 
                  committment to painting and music. He was a graduate of UCD 
                  and worked as a Telecommunications Engineer before becoming 
                  a full-time Artist and Tutor. Painting, 
                  however, took centre-stage in his life in the mid-1970s when 
                  he moved to Limerick city. It was then that his successful early 
                  exhibitions began to foreshadow his current solo sellout shows. 
                Most 
                  of his exhibitions have been in the North Munster and Western 
                  seaboard areas. He has also exhibited successfully in Dublin 
                  and the U.S.A. He was a founder member of the Adare Studio Group 
                  and Gallery 75 (Limerick city). Roger 
                  currently teaches art and co-manages Gallery 75 in Limerick 
                  city, where his paintings are regularly on display.
