  • Artist: Mary McSweeney (Irish)

Born and raised in Killarney, Ireland, Mary McSweeny sketches and paints the familiar surroundings of her homeland: Ross Castle, Achill Island, the Gap of Dunloe, the Cliffs of Moher, The Donegal Coastline, Glendalough, Croagh Patrick, Blarney Castle, the Carrig Aonar.

After completing formal art training at the Cork College of Art and Design, McSweeny began to professionally paint the beautiful landscape, the simple events and the everyday people that is the true Emerald Isle. Whether her mother's house nestled in the hills, or her sons Kerry and Daniel playing on the beach, or an old man walking through the meadow, or simply the places and the people that she sees, she paints them to preserve them on canvas and capture the essence of Ireland. McSweeny now lives in the United Sates and returns to Ireland frequently to sketch and paint.
