About the Artist
Growing up in the idyllic village of Ardmore county Waterford, Padraic has been surrounded with stunning views of the sea and historic village life which has greatly influenced his work. Having developed a love of painting the scenes of his native Ardmore, Padraic then attended the National College of Art, Dublin where he completed his degree in textile art. There he developed his own personal style of painting which is unique to him. For many years he has contributed his work to the Ardmore Pottery which is a regular stockist of his work. Padraic currently practices in the very lovely countryside of North Tipperary, near to the mythical Knockshigowna Hill and the historic Georgian town of Birr. Padraics commissions are most notably of landscapes, streetscapes and vernacular architecture.
What our clients say
Moving to a new home, I wanted to take some memories with me, so I enquired with Padraic if he could do a commission painting of the home I grew up in. He was so easy to work with and listened to all of my requirements. I absolutely love the final product which was a gift to myself for my Birthday. It brings back so many memories and Padraic's very unique style of painting really adds so much character to the painting.
