Bernard Reynolds

Bernard Reynolds was born in Strandhill, County Sligo, in 1952. He lived for a time in Wicklow and in County Galway but now lives in Virginia in County Cavan.

He worked as an architectural draughtsman for six years, but decided to become a full-time artist in 1976.

His work shows a great maturity and command of his materials. His style is individual and the content of his painting is unusual in that he paints the rolling landscape of Cavan.

Reynolds captures the flavour and character of the place rather than being representational. Through his eyes we see the landscape in its various moods. He is always experimenting with new techniques, and has had numerous solo exhibitions throughout Ireland. Reynolds' work is exhibited in various galleries, and is held in many private collections all over the world.
