Oonagh O'Toole

I am an artist living in Dublin.

I studied graphic design at the National College of Art and Design and worked as a designer before focusing on painting and art education.

I love paint, colours, tones and noticing the beauty and drama in the details of ordinary scenes

Through cityscapes, still lifes and portraiture,

I look at the colour and light of the everyday- shadows cast by a chimney when the sun is bright after a rain shower, the light falling on an apple reflected in a stainless steel teapot or the transient bloom of a summer flower

I studied Visual Communication at the National Gallery of Art and Design, Dublin and has a B.Des (Hons)
I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Art Education. I currently teach art in a secondary school.

Oonagh has exhibited with reputable private galleries in Ireland including the Hallward Gallery, Merrion Square, Dublin and the Greenlane Gallery, Dingle, Co. Kerry. She has also exhibited work at the RHA annual open exhibition
