F37 Wicklow Stencil

He lived in Dublin from 1930, with the exception of 1948-51 when he learned the rudiments of stone-carving and letter-cutting with Joseph Cribb, successor to Eric Gill, at Ditchling, Sussex. Prior to that, in 1947, he attended the National College of Art in Dublin. His work includes many public and private inscriptions in stone, wood and bronze throughout Ireland. These include the Moyne commemorative table, TCD (1953); Proclamation of Republic and grave inscriptions at Arbour Hill (1959-63), inscription in portico, GPO (1961), Garda Memorial, Phoenix Park (1966), and the mural inscription at Parnell Square, Dublin (1976).
