Speak No Evil .
Self Portrait by Roy McKeown.
Hello, and welcome to my first blog post.
My goodness, where to start? The beginning I suppose….
When I was 10 years old my brother banned me from his darkroom. It was only a cupboard in the hallway, but it had a mystical red glow from a darkroom lamp seeping out of gaps in the door.
The forbidden is always exciting, so I caught the bug and and since then Photography and Art have been my passion.
Aged 22, I opened Greenvale Studio. Fast forward another twenty years and I launched PORTFOLIO Art Gallery on John Street.
Then the distraction. For the last 10 years I have been rescuing and restoring Raceview Woollen Mill, recently winning an award for Northern Ireland’s best rescue of heritage.
Now Raceview Mill is firmly on its feet I am back to spending my time on my absolute passion which is, of course, creating art.
I hope you enjoy 🙂
Roy
