Maurice Cassidy was born in Ireland and graduated from Trinity College Dublin. He paints portraits utilizing oil on paper. His subjects are drawn from his surroundings. They are the people he cares about: Family, loved ones, and friends. Inspired by Lucian Freud his paintings are an autobiographical account, an attempt to create a record.
