Desie O'Reilly

I was born in Belfast and have lived in America, Germany and Portugal. I studied art at university and developed my skills in oil painting as well as ceramics.

I first exhibited at the Agora gallery in New York in 2006 and since then have generated a great interest in my work with further exhibitions in Dublin and London. I am proud to have works in private collections in Colorado, Dublin, London and Malaysia. My subject matter is varied and includes still life, landscapes and sea prints. I paint mostly in oil but use watercolours and digital software also. My work is influenced by the places I visited or the things that I see, a castle by the coast or a flower in the garden. I enjoy creating images full of vibrant colour combinations.
