Biography

Growing up in Ireland Leo excelled in art from an early age. Upon finishing school he earned a living painting portraits and street scenes in Dublin. His passion for painting took him to London and then France, before returning back home to Ireland. His love of travelling took him back to France and then across Europe, eventually settling in Marbella, Spain for a period of time.

In the early 1990's Leo returned to Northern Ireland and built himself a considerable reputation for his horse paintings - leading to numerous commissions and exhibitions - winning many prestigious awards for his distinctive and individual style.

Leo's work can be found in many private collections throughout Europe and the U.S.A.
