Liam O’Neill was born in West Kerry in 1954 and is among Ireland’s most talented contemporary artists. He is a self taught painter
who credits his motivation and inspiration from his love of the west coast. His paintings recapture images of harbours, horse fairs,
landscapes, fishermen, bog and meadow scenes. The animated strokes of bright colour, which are spontaneously applied in a loose
expressionistic manner using a palette knife, emphasise the passionate freedom of the artist’s style. O’Neill has exhibited widely
over the past 20 years including the Royal Hibernian Academy, Oireachtas and the National Portrait Exhibition.
