about time!

Michael V O’Regan Tralee born artist is self taught and has been painting part time for many years. Demand for his work is such that he has recently begun working as a full time artist. The diversity and vibrancy in the natural beauty of the Kerry woodlands are a constant source of inspiration. Michael's preferred medium for his painting is oils and he also works in pen and pencil. His detailed sketches of old farm buildings and their environs record a traditional way of life which will soon be just a memory. 

Michael’s collection of paintings and sketches demonstrates the empathy and appreciation which he feels for the woodlands and countryside of his native Kerry.
