Hugh O’Neill

Since 1995, we have proudly established ourselves as leaders in the realms of art education and art tours throughout the beautiful landscapes of Ireland. Long before Plein Air painting gained its soaring popularity, our visionary founder, Hugh O’Neill, was already instrumental in helping numerous artists achieve their creative dreams and ambitions. We deeply understand the varied needs and challenges of our clients, and, as such, we handpick only the finest locations in Ireland for our workshops—extraordinary places that Hugh has passionately painted for over 45 years. With an impressive 35 years of teaching experience under his belt, Hugh holds a unique and well-earned reputation that resonates with and attracts both budding beginners and seasoned advanced artists alike.

“Hugh O’Neill is one of those rare discoveries that bring confidence and assurances that great painting is still alive and flourishing”

— Quote Bruce Helander, the former provost of Rhode Island School of Design and a writer for New Yorker Magazine
