Born in Dublin in 1963, Padraig has been painting full time
since 2006. He is currently represented through galleries in
Ireland (North and South) and England. His paintings explore
the rich landscapes and coastlines of the West of Ireland and
can be found in many private collections throughout Ireland,
Europe and the US.
'I work in oils, using brushes and palette knives. For some
paintings, particularly land and seascapes, I like to work
quickly, always aiming to capture a spontaneity, a freshness
in my work.'
He runs an annual series of painting workshops on Achill
Island from May through to August and also a produces a range
of Limited Edition Giclee Prints and Art Greeting Cards. Details
of all of these can be found on his website.
