My name is Stephen Dillon-Malone and I live in Co. Leitrim in Ireland with my wife, Deirdre and my son, Emmett.
As much as I would love to use my art skills professionally, I currently work in IT so all of the contents on the website has been created in my spare time as a hobby.
Apart from having done 'Art History' in secondary school all those many years ago, I have no formal education in Art - all you see here is self taught. I started digital painting in February 2006 and recently bought a Canon 400D DSLR camera (and even more recently, swapped that for a 30D) so I am also getting into Digital photography now in a big way.
