Michael Hanrahan
Michael Hanrahan, who lives in Lahinch and works in a studio at the Courthouse Gallery in Ennistymon, is the only living Irish artist now represented in the Royal Collection. Hanrahan has garnered other distinguished commissions to date including official artist for the All-Ireland Hurling Final in Croke Park in September 2010 and Russia versus Ireland in the European Football Championship at the Aviva Stadium in 2010. Hanrahan is devoted to painting the Irish landscape and retired from a career in banking to pursue his passion full-time, studying first at the National College of Art and Design, and later the Burren College of Art and the Lisdoonvarna Painting Centre. He has trained under Trevor Geoghegan, Fergal Flanagan, James Flack and Dorothee Roberts, learning to capture light and atmosphere through the medium of oil and watercolour. Serendipitously, in spring 2010 Hanrahan was appointed to the desirable position of Art Instructor aboard the Cunard Cruise Liners a post which has afforded him worldwide travel, experience and exposure, on the Queen Mary 2, the Queen Victoria and the Queen Elizabeth. www.whytes.ie
