Cecil Maguire was born in Lurgan, Northern Ireland in 1930 and graduated from Queen’s University Belfast in 1951. He then took
a post at Lurgan College as the Senior English Master. In 1967 he became an associate of the Royal Ulster Academy. Maguire began
exhibiting at the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1971. In 1981 he retired from teaching at Lurgan College to concentrate on painting
and travelling. In 1993 he was a Gold Medal Award winner at the Royal Ulster Academy.
Maguire now divides his time between Italy, Belfast and the West of Ireland but lives and works for a great part of the year in Round-
stone, Connemara where he feels very much at home in an area which has always been the inspiration for much of his work - an area
of tranquility and ever changing landscape.
Maguire has exhibited extensively in galleries such as Kenny Gallery, Oriel Gallery, Bell Gallery, and the Dawson Gallery and his
works are held in many important public and private collections around the world.
