Originally from Co. Wicklow and now based in Kerry, Irish artist Carol Cronin’s seascapes capture the power and ever changing moods of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged West Kerry coast.
Carol lived in The Netherlands for 10 years and moved to Kerry in 2002, spending a living and working summer on the Great Blasket Island before moving to Dún Chaoin.
After several independent sell-out shows she started to show her work with both the Greenlane Gallery (Dingle and Paris) and The Killarney Art Gallery.
In 2005 was the opening of her own Gallery in Green Street Dingle, showing exclusively her own work. Her work is enormously influenced by the time she spent living in Dunquin.
Carol has exhibited in New York The Magnan Metz, Chelsea in New York and her work is in the collections of (amongst others) Jimmy Deenihan TD Minister for Arts, Heritage, and the Gaeltacht, and John Warner (American Museum of Art). Her work has also been featured on RTE and the Discovery channel USA. Carol was an invited artist at the Arte Utile festival in Sicily and her work has been commissioned by, amongst others The National Archives of the Netherlands and University College of Cork.
Her work has been exhibited widely , including the Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA), Dublin, Fairfields Hall, London and the AK47 Gallery, Dusseldorf.
