The California Hills Park in Ballyfermot is so-called because when the area was first developed the local kids played Cowboys and Indians there. My design acknowledges the origin of the name and acts as a signpost towards the park. The design is also a nod to the Western Comics of the 1950's.
Before joining Dublin City Council I studied Art & Design for 3 years. Since then I have continued my interest in art and have completed numerous private commissions. My current area of interest is in digital design and creating images with clean lines and bold colours.
