It is easy to see from the work of Margaret O’Sullivan that she really has an affinity with the sea. She manages to capture its atmosphere so effectively that when looking at the work it is as if you can hear the waves and feel the tension of the swell under water. Even in some of her tiny paintings the pull of the tide is tangible. She is a regular exhibitor with the Paul Kane gallery in Dublin and at the Lavit gallery, Cork.

Margaret O’Sullivan attended the Crawford College of Art as a mature student and qualified with an honours degree in Fine Art in 1993. She also received a diploma in the History of Art at University College Cork in 2002.

Her work is informed by nature and the forces within nature. She works in situ in a variety of landscapes such as Allihies in West Cork, Cloghroe, Co. Cork, Achill Island, Co. Mayo. She also spends time working in Crete, Greece at regular intervals. She has recently returned to Cork, having spent a year working and living on Achill Island.
