''Clear, strong, prayerful work, with joy at its centre.''
Art critic Sister Wendy Beckett
“He goes to dark, grim places, places that in the modern world we like to pretend don’t exist and when he gets there he cracks jokes. This work is the work of the medieval jester.”
Joe Horgan, Patrick Kavanagh Poetry Award winner
“his work is bold and commanding.”
Seamus Heaney, Nobel Prize for literature
“Looking at a Whelan painting is like looking at a stained glass window, through the eyes of Bart Simpson.”
Writer and critic Steven Martin
