Eugene Conway was born in Dublin but moved to Co. Kilkenny as a child. He is one of the most well known landscape artists in Ireland. Growing up in the countryside, he developed a great love and appreciation for the beauty of nature around him. Eugene has exhibited his work since he was a student at the National College of Art & Design, (NCAD) Dublin and has had a number of successful solo exhibitions to date. During his time as a student his paintings were shown at the annual Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA) exhibition, where a proportion of works were chosen from the student body. His paintings have since been chosen for display by the RHA from 1991 to 2013.
