Cormac O’Leary

Cormac O’Leary was born in Cork and grew up in Sligo.

I was very lucky, I grew up in a house that was full of paintings and artists. I was always drawing as a child, and just continued doing it.

Cormac’s father John was a distinguished painter, a charismatic teacher and a major influence. Cormac graduated with a diploma in fine art from Sligo RTC and then lived in Spain for a time. He worked at Sligo Art Gallery before devoting himself to painting full time.

As a friend of Cormac my comments may seem biased but if the serious collector of Irish Art does not have an O’Leary , well, your not that serious.
