Irish visual artist
It was an amazing experience to take part in a recent group exhibition at the beautiful Agora Gallery, West 25th Street, New York. It was also extra special to have a few dear family and friends to celebrate with during this event.

It was beautiful, wild and dangerous, yet hypnotising in its force and motion. Experiencing a recent intense storm off the coast of Ireland, looking into the Atlantic ocean was the source of inspiration for my latest painting.
2018 promises to be a good one, with kick-starting the 
year by signing with my dream gallery: Agora Gallery, situated in Chelsea, Manhattan. The collaboration includes taking part in the renowned art fair: Artexpo New York, April 19th – 22nd 2018.
Followed by a group exhibition in Agora Gallery, May 22nd-June 12th. With the opening night on Thursday May 24th at 6pm. More details will follow. All are welcome.
I have divided my paintings into four categories. Whether its a landscape, a person, a close-up, nature, or an abstract painting, certain elements are universal in my work. These include the light intensity which could be described as being dramatic. Also a sense of motion and energy are a constant fascination. Hope you enjoy browsing through the various categories.
Here are examples of paintings and murals created on commission for individuals. During the initial consultation a client gets to share his/her ideas for the commissioned work. I then share ideas and give suggestions relating to content, size, colour, impact, style etc. A price estimate can be given at this stage. The price of the mural or canvas painting will depend on the size and complexity of the image. I then create a number of sketches which the client can later make a choice from. Then with much joint discussion the final plans are drawn up before the execution of the commissioned art work. For an estimate contact me at Olivia_o_keeffe@hotmail.com
This client liked both initial sketches so much, that they wanted both but then in a smaller size and in such a way that the paintings could work together as a diptych.
This painting was created from a combination of images and fantasy to combine the three elements of a Dutch sand dune, climaxing wave and an exciting sky.
This painting was based on photos from the client, taken at a beach in Ireland where the client’s husband proposed.
