J
ason O’Ceannobháin is a wildlife, equine and portrait artist working and living in Kildare, Ireland. Born in Dublin 1982, Jason’s young talents were nurtured and encouraged by his close family. He studied at Salesian College Celbridge and continued to Ballyfermot College of Further Education where he received a B.A. (Hons) Degree in art and animation. Jason has expanded his skills in animal and portrait studies for over twenty-five years. Working primarily in acrylic, pencil and charcoal, his technique is characterized by a close attention to detail and realism to accurately capture his subjects and their surroundings. As a wildlife enthusiast Jason’s work is strongly influenced by Ireland’s native animals and rolling landscapes. He collects his research through fieldwork photography across the country allowing him to not only obtain the reference material needed, but to study his subjects in their natural environment. Jason is a professional artist and has completed countless commissions for clients from all over the world. His work has been displayed in numerous galleries and auctioneers across the U.K. and Ireland. He continues to work in his hometown, Celbridge, Co. Kildare and when not in his studio he enjoys the quiet rural village life.
