About Máire Flanagan

Máire Flanagan was born in Co. Mayo but has lived in Dublin most of her life. She had an interest in art throughout her school years and was awarded a scholarship to the National College of Art & Design. She graduated with a B.A. (Hons) Degree from University College Galway and a Froebel Diploma from Sion Hill, Blackrock.

Maire's preferred medium is watercolour. Her palette is subtle and soft, reflecting the changing moods of the Irish landscape. She returns frequently to her native County Mayo, in the west of Ireland and this wild, rugged landscape features in many of her paintings.

Maire's watercolours are to be found in collections worldwide including Canada, the United States, Australia, Europe, Africa and Japan.
