About Liam:
Liam trained and worked as a graphic designer in Australia before settling in Wellington to further develop his art practice. The exploration of folk, history and the peculiarities therein is at the essence of his work and he continues to define this experience expressed through meticulous attention to form and structure within the development of his subjects. Liam’s work draws reference from fiction to subjective fact, weaving stories punctuated with symbolism, iconography, humour and pathos.
