Born in Glasgow in 1968, Cornelius Browne grew up near the small coastal village of Maghery in West Donegal, where he still lives and paints. He studied painting at the National College of Art & Design in Dublin, graduating with a degree in Fine Art. He worked for many years at the Irish Museum of Modern Art. In recent years, he has had two solo exhibitions, Weathering and An Invite to Eternity, at the McKenna Gallery in Omagh. His paintings have also been exhibited in many group exhibitions around Ireland. Since 2016, he has tutored plein air workshops at Glebe House & Gallery in Churchill, and last summer he tutored the closing workshop of the Dublin Plein Air Festival. He has worked in film as a production designer and screenwriter and has published fiction and poetry. For the last four years, he has written a column for The Visual Artists' News Sheet, published by Visual Artists Ireland. He is currently working on his first book.
