Shay Maguire

Shay Maguire is a professional artist born and living in Dublin, Ireland, and has been painting for more than 30 years. The principle subjects Shay paints are Irish cityscapes and seascapes. Shay paints in his studio in Dublin and in Mayo in the West of Ireland where the wonder of nature can be experienced at its wildest.
"I am particularly interested in composition, and capturing the energy of a scene, be it a dramatic contrasting cityscape, or the wildness of nature in a seascape or landscape. I mainly paint in acrylic and oil.
"Painting has been intertwined through my life, it's a consuming passion. I am continuously thinking of painting and composition".
