Clare Cryan
Clare Cryan was born in Dublin and studied painting at the NCA in Dublin and the Belfast College of Art. She was appointed Master of the Preliminary School of the NCA in 1965 but later resigned to develop her own work, and continued to teach privately, working with Kenneth Webb (q.v.) in the Irish School of Landscape Painting. In 1971 she founded the Blue Door Studio and many of her pupils have made an impact on the Irish art world. Clare Cryan has exhibited at the RHA, RUA, National Watercolour Society London, and The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour. In 1990 President Hillery presented one of her pictures as a state gift to Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. www.whytes.ie
