Irish art, Micheal O'Muirthile
Micheal O'Muirthile is a national prize-winning artist from Ireland
whose forte includes equine art, landscape and portraiture paintings and drawings.
His work is in private collections throughout Ireland, England, continental
Europe, America, Canada, Australia and the Middle East.
He is greatly influenced by his local place and by the immense pool of
inspirational detail that is available throughout the island of Ireland.
"The artist..........is also a born adventurer. His explorations, unlike those
of the tourist, are rewarded by the discovery of beauty spots unmentioned in the
guide books, and with tireless curiosity and an exceptional proneness to
wonderment, he will come upon objects of remarkable interest overlooked or even
shunned by more disciplined observers". These wise words by Augustus John,
R.A., could not be bettered in providing a mental picture of where the artist
Micheal O'Muirthile centres his creativity.
He currently lives in the beautiful Lee valley in County Cork; his people hailed
from south of Dunmanway nearby to Ballinacarriga Castle, the seat of the
O'Muirthile clan in West Cork. Contact Micheal at momuir@gmail.com if you
