He studied mathematics at Cambridge and worked as a visual artist in Istanbul, Vienna and London among other places. In 1972 he moved to Aran Islands, Ireland and began writing and making maps. He is the author of ‘Stones of Aran’ and the acclaimed trilogy published by Penguin ‘Connemara: Listening to the Wind’, ‘Connemara: A Little Gaelic Kingdom’ and ‘Connemara: The Last Pool of Darkness’. His maps of the Aran Islands, Connemara and Burren in Co.
