Dave O'Halloran

David O’Halloran was born in October, 1974. He was not only born with a gift for art, he inherited it. Being the son of Artists Judy Pickering and Eric Minchin, but also related to two of Australia’s greatest Artists, Tom Roberts and Clifton Pugh.... it was to no surprise that David would follow down the same path.
As a child he spent many hours watching his mother paint and exhibit alongside The Brushmen Of The Bush from Broken Hill, NSW. As a young man he continued to watch and learn as she passed on her knowledge of the arts to him.
He calls himself a Realist Artist, specialising in Landscape painting. David alternates between oil and acrylic paint, depending upon the individual piece he wants to create. He uses a combination of brush and palette knife techniques and gives his work texture, using a generous amount of paint and he likes to apply the colour in a rich vibrant appearance on the canvas. O’Halloran captures the Australian Outback in his landscapes beautifully, whether it be on a miniature or mural size base, he is able to create so much distance within the painting, making the viewer look back over the rich earthy reds of the desert until it meets those amazing big, blue skies, displaying just how big Australia re...

David studied under Judy Pickering.
