Patrick Cahill

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Patrick Cahill has been working as an artist for over thirty years. He began his career as a graphic artist and then spent some time working in illustration, and for the past twenty years he has devoted himself exclusively to fine art.

Nowadays, Cahill paints both in oils and watercolour, and his subject matter covers a wide range, including landscape, streetscape, still life and the nude. His painting style could be described as "alla prima" which means "first go", and he would say that "the marks made are as important as the subject, sometimes more important". He likes the painting process to show through in the finished painting.
