He continues the 2500 year old tradition with his own Celtic art, traditional and modern, in various mediums, from line drawings to paintings, and even entire cars. He has a love of Celtic art and music instilled in him, coming from Celtic stock (Scottish), and living for many years in a Celtic area of Britain (Cornwall). He regularly spends time in the ancient Celtic areas of Britain, Ireland and Europe, studying ancient works of art.
